Johnny Crow's Party

Johnny Crow’s Party By L. Leslie Brooke Johnny Crow Plied Rake and Row And improved his little Garden. And the Eagle Looked quite regal In Johnny Crow's Garden And the Cockatoo Said "Comment vous portez vous?" But the Gander Didn't understand her; Yet the Flamingo Spoke the same lingo In Johnny Crow's Garden. Mr. Bear Sang a sentimental Air, But the Giraffe Was inclined to laugh; Even the Duckling Couldn't help chuckling In Johnny Crow's Garden. Then the Snake Got entangled with the rake In Johnny Crow's Garden. Then the Chicken She got stricken; So the Hen Said: "We'll never come again To Johnny Crow's Garden!" And the Sheep Went to sleep, And the Armadillo Used him for a pillow; And the Porcupine Said: "I’ll join this line!" In Johnny Crow's Garden. And the Kangaroo Tried to paint the Roses blue Till the Camel Swallowed the Enamel. And the Reindeer Said: "I'm sorry for your pain, dear!" In Johnny Crow's Garden. So the Chimpanzee Put the Kettle on for Tea; And the Seal Made a very big Meal; While the Sole Shared a Muffin with the Mole In Johnny Crow's Garden. Then they picked the Flowers, and wandered in the Maze, And before they went their several ways They all joined together In a Hearty Vote of Praise Of Johnny Crow and his Garden.
