The Naughty Boy
There
was a naughty boy
And
a naughty boy was he.
He
ran away to Scotland
The
people there to see –
Then
he found
That
the ground
Was
as hard.
That
a yard
Was
as long.
That
a song
The
people there to see –
Then
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
a 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.
John
Keats
