Desperate to find the rest of this poem, can anyone please help?
Johnny had for breakfast, such lovely milk and bread
This is horid stuff, I'll leave it, naughty Johnny said.
Mother said you may, but remember Johnny dear
You'll have nothing else today!
etc. etc.
Patricia, look over on the "Lost Poetry Quotations" forum. I've posted your request there with the title MILK AND BREAD.
Les
Thank-you very much for your reply, I never gave it a thought to check out Milk and Bread as the title over the internet, I will do.
Johnny had for breakfast,
Oh such nice bread and Milk
Horrid stuff I'll leave it
Mother said you may,
but though Johnny
You'll have nothing more today.
On the shelf she placed it
covered it with a plate
Now go to school now Johnny
or you will be late
Off to school went Johnny
crying all the way
She'll be sorry if I die today..
Then he heard the school bells
he was crying even more
then he saw his mother standing at the door
Are you good now Johnny
Here's your milk and bread
I could eat a dog biscuit, horrid Johnny said,
He sat there and he ate it
and thought it very nice
so children, when your dainty,
think of Johnny Price.
