JOHNNv-JUMP.UP.

Once there was little Roy
Whom 1t strangely did annoy
To have people always say,
Full hundred times o day:
johnny, Johnny, Jump up, do,
And find this, or that, won't you"
Oh, 1t vexed his very soul,
And filled his heart with dole.
That his ears they'd always prick
With Johnny, Johnny, jump up quick"
''Oh, Iwish," he rashly said,
THAT could lie still in bedv'
But when he next heard folks say:
Johnny, Johnny, jump up, pray"
To his great surprise he found
Both feet rooted In the ground
Yes, tits true, that he was planted
Mid the flowers, with face all slanted;
And his legs had grown as thin
AS the very slimmest pin.
Only bright, laughing face
Had been left him as grace;
But never can he run when they
Call Johnny, Johnny, Jump up, pray"
And so I'm sorry, are not you,
