jenny white and johnny black

by Eleanor Farjeon

Jenny White and Johnny Black

Went out for a walk.

Jenny found wild strawberries,

And John a lump of chalk.

Jenny White and Johnny Black

Clambered up a hill.

Jenny heard a willow-wren

And John a workman’s drill.

Jenny White and Johnny Black

Wandered by the dyke.

Jenny smelt the meadow-sweet,

And John a motor-bike.

Jenny White and Johnny Black

Turned into a lane.

Jenny saw the moon by day

And Johnny saw a train.

Jenny White and Johnny Black

Walked into a storm.

Each felt for the other’s hand

And found it nice and warm.

I adore this poem.  

It was introduced to my by a rockstar of a former student affectionately named, KatieKaboom.

I hope you like it too.  

Hugs and Love!!!
