A Little Boy Ran to the End of the Sky

A little boy ran to the end of the sky

With a rag and a pole and a gooseberry pie.

He cried: “Three cheers for the Fourth of July!”

With a rag and a pole and a gooseberry pie.

He saw three little donkeys at play,

He tickled their noses to make them bray,

And he didn’t come back until Christmas Day—

With a rag and a pole and a gooseberry pie.
