As Jeremi' and Josephine <br />Were walky-talking on the green, <br />They met a man who bore a dish <br />Of (anything you like to wish!) <br /> <br />They stared to see the man so bold; <br />They really thought he must be cold, <br />For he was clad, though chill the day, <br />In (anything you choose to say!) <br /> <br />The man returned their stare again; <br />But now the story gives me pain, <br />For he remarked in scornful tone, <br />(I'll let you manage this alone!) <br /> <br />And there is even worse to come; <br />The man (I've been informed by some) <br />Inflicted on the blameless two <br />(I leave the punishment to you!) <br /> <br />This simple tale is thus, you see, <br />Divided fair 'twixt you and me, <br />And nothing more I've heard or seen <br />Of Jeremi' or Josephine.<br /><br />Laura Elizabeth Richards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jeremi-and-josephine/
