"Little Johnny"

Sophia Becraft1

Ode
Oh little Johnny- here you sit and cry
As you were playing on the playground
He explained he swung on the swings high
Then he fell with no one around

I asked what would make it better
He said he wanted candy
We walked to the store
He looked for the one with letters
It was quite dandy
Little Johnny felt sore no more.
