A. A. Milne

Jonathan Jo

Jonathan Jo
Has a mouth like an 'O’
And a wheelbarrow full 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!
