Little Tommy Turnipseed The moral of this story
Went out one day to play Choosing your friends! Beware!
Met little Mary Thistledown Thistledown, it can be itchy
Walking along the way As haircut down your back hair!
Said Little Tommy Turnipseed
“Will you play with me?”
Little Mary Thistledown answered
“That is not to be”
“I am going to visit
Little Lucy Loganberry”
“She has invited me
To drink a cup of tea”
Little Tommy Turnipseed said
“Can I come too?”
“Tea sounds mighty fine”
“If that’s all right with you”
Little Mary Thistledown
Looked at him and cried
“Little Tommy Turnipseed!”
“You shall be denied!”
“I’m going to a tea party”
“It is only for us girls”
“Me, Lucy Loganberry
And her best friend, Polly Pearl”
Little Tommy Turnipseed
He went home and cried
Not only were his feelings hurt
It also hurt his pride
Now Little Tommy Turnipseed
A new friend he seeks
An amazing thing, it happened
It only took a week
He now has a new friend
Spends all his time with him
His new friend has a name
It’s Ollie Onionskin
Now Onionskins and Turnipseeds
Are compatible, they get along
They have one thing in common
In the ground, they belong
