i had a dog


by walter w johnson iii



i had a dog
and the dog had a cat
the cat had a ball
and the ball had a bat

the bat had a belfry
and the belfry had a clown
the clown blew a bugle
and they all fell down

an inspector came
and surveyed the scene
his name was jerry
and he jumped like a bean

jerry the jumper
wore a coat and a hat
he liked vanilla ice cream
and never got fat

he had an aunt named millie
and an uncle named joe
they lived out on the prairie
a long time ago

they had a mule named mike
who ate lots of hay
a tornado came
and blew them all away

the sky turned black
and a sign appeared
of a man on horseback
with a long white beard

his name was bill
and he collected the rent
he drank corn whiskey
and lived in a tent

the tent had a pole
and the pole had a cat
and my story is ended
just like that
