Happiness (Monday Poem)

by A. A. Milne
taken from When We Were Very Young 
(1924, E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc.)


John had
Great Big
Waterproof
Boots on;
John had a
Great Big
Waterproof
Hat;
John had a
Great Big
Waterproof
Mackintosh--
And that
(said John)
Is
That.


from Time for Poetry: A Teacher's Anthology, compiled by May Hill Arbuthnot, 1951, Scott Foresman and Company
