JOHNNY AND MEG
“Strawberries! Ripe strawberries!”
Cried lusty Johnny Strong;
And he sold his baskets readily
To folks who came along.
Cried lusty Johnny Strong;
And he sold his baskets readily
To folks who came along.
But soon a tiny voice piped forth,
“Me, too!” Meg could not shout
As John did. Yet she too must sell
The fruit she bore about.
“Me, too!” Meg could not shout
As John did. Yet she too must sell
The fruit she bore about.
“Ho, straw-berr-e-e-s!” roared lusty John,
“Me, too!” piped Meg, so sad.
Now Johnny made good sales that day,
But Meg sold all she had.
