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!!!
