My name is Johnny Vincent Brown, <br />I live on Leicester Court, <br />My Pa's not here, he's gone downtown, <br />An' I am three feet short, <br />An' I weigh sixty-three pounds, too, <br />An' I know my A, B, C's, <br />An' I say good-bye an' howdy-do, <br />An' yessum, yessir, please. <br /> <br />An' I'm a good boy all the time, <br />I do jes' what I'm told, <br />I like ter run an' jump an' climb, <br />I'm only four years old. <br />I don't like hair that hangs in curls, <br />An' I am fond of cake, <br />But I ain't got no use for girls <br />An' I hate stummick ache. <br /> <br />I like the baby that we've got, <br />I go ter Sunday School, <br />I say my prayers beside my cot, <br />I know the Golden Rule. <br />I'll be a man when I grow up, <br />I've got a dandy sleigh, <br />An' if that's all you want ter know <br />I'll skip along an' play.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/answering-the-usual-questions/
