I just ran across this…
At The Garden Gate - David McCord
Who so late
at the garden gate?
Emily, Kate,
and John.
“John,
where have you been?
It’s after six;
Supper is on,
And you’ve been gone
An hour,
John!”
“We’ve been, we’ve been,
We’ve just been over
The field,” said,
John.
(Emily, Kate,
and John.)
Who so late
at the garden gate?
Emily, Kate
and John
“John,
what have you got?”
“A whopping toad
Isn’t he big?
He’s a terrible
Load.
(We found him
A little ways
Up the road,”
said Emily,
Kate,
and John.)
Who so late
at the garden gate?
Emily, Kate,
and John.
“John,
put that thing down!
Do you want to get warts?”
(They all three have ‘em
By last
Reports.)
Still, finding toads
Is the best of
Sports,
Say Emily,
Kate,
and John.
The first poem I ever learned, and just happened to run across before heading to bed, night all.
