Himmy went to market,
Slipped out through his door,
Did all of his trading
At the General Store.

Then he did some calling,
Got himself a drink,
Turning on the faucet
At Aunt Clara's sink.

Broke an empty bottle
On the cement floor,
Flung the broom and mop-stick
Outside her back door.

Picked himself some berries
Back within the wood,
Then went home with Georgie
For his breakfast food.
