Jonathan Jo
Has a mouth
like an "O"
And a wheelbarrow full of of surprises;
If you ask for
a bat,
Or for something
like that,
He has got it, whatever the size is.
If you're wanting
a ball,
It's no trouble
at all;
Why, the more that you ask for, the merrier-
Like a hoop
and a top,
And a watch
that won't stop,
And some sweets, and an Aberdeen terrier.
Jonathan Jo
Has a mouth
like an "O"
But this is what makes him so funny:
If you give
him a smile,
Only once in
a while,
Then he never expects any money!
