LESLIE BROOKE First Edition, 1903 To the Memory of my Father, who first told me of Johnny Crow's Garden; and to my Boys, for whom I have set on record these facts concerning it. JOHNNY CROW'S GARDEN. Johnny Crow Would dig and sow Till he made a little Garden. And the Lion Had a green and yellow Tie on In Johnny Crow's Garden. And the Rat Wore a Feather in his Hat But the Bear Had nothing to wear In Johnny Crow's Garden. So the Ape Took his Measure with a Tape In Johnny Crow's Garden. Then the Crane Was caught in the Rain In Johnny Crow's Garden. And the Beaver Was afraid he had a Fever But the Goat Said: "It's nothing but his Throat!" In Johnny Crow's Garden. And the Pig Danced a Jig In Johnny Crow's Garden. Then the Stork Gave a Philosophic Talk Till the Hippopotami Said: "Ask no further 'What am I?'" While the Elephant Said something quite irrelevant And the Goose-- Well, the Goose _was_ a Goose In Johnny Crow's Garden. And the Mouse Built himself a little House Where the Cat Sat down beside the Mat In Johnny Crow's Garden. And the Whale Told a very long Tale In Johnny Crow's Garden. And the Owl Was a funny old Fowl And the Fox Put them all in the Stocks In Johnny Crow's Garden. But Johnny Crow He let them go And they all sat down to their dinner in a row In Johnny Crow's Garden.
