There was a Naughty Boy

~John Keats

There was a naughty boy, A naughty boy was he, He would not stop at home, He could not quiet be- He took In his knapsack A book Full of vowels And a shirt With some towels, A slight cap For night cap, A hair brush, Comb ditto, New stockings- For old ones Would split O! This knapsack Tight at 'is back He rivetted close And followed his nose To the North, To the North, And followed his nose To the North. There was a naughty boy, And a naughty boy was he, He ran away to Scotland The people for to see- There he found That the ground Was as hard, That a yard Was as long, That a song Was as merry, That a cherry Was as red- That lead Was as weighty That fourscore Was as eighty, That a door Was as wooden As in England- So he stood in his shoes And he wondered, He wondered, He stood in his shoes And he wondered.
