JOHNNY shall have a new bonnet, And Johnny shall go to the fair, And Johnny shall have a blue ribbon To tie up his bonny brown hair. And why may not I love Johnny? And why may not Johnny love me? And why may not I love Johnny As well as another body? And here's a leg for a stocking, And here's a leg for a shoe, And he has a kiss for his daddy, And two for his mammy, I trow. And why may not I love Johnny? And why may not Johnny love me? And why may not I love Johnny As well as another body? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MAGNETIC MOUNTAIN: 32 by CECIL DAY LEWIS SONNET: TO HOMER by JOHN KEATS NEW YORK AT NIGHT by AMY LOWELL FOAM STRAY by JOSEPH AUSLANDER THE LOST LADY: SONG by WILLIAM BERKLEY JUDGES: SONG OF DEBORAH; FRAGMENTS by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE LOVE AND THE MUSE by MATHILDE BLIND |
