John had
Great Big
Waterproof
Boots on;
John had a
Great Big

Hat;
John had a
Great Big

Mackintosh --
And that

No use, no use, now, begging Recognize!
There is nothing to do with such a beautiful blank but smooth it.
Name, house, car keys,
The little toy wife-
Erased, sigh, sigh.
Four babies and a cocker!
