We made our little garden-plots before the spring was passed, / And Jimmy, he raised radishes, because they grow so fast; / And Alice planted flower-seeds, to beautify the ground, / But I chose cabbages-they grow so grand and great and round.
And Jimmy's garden flourished-he had a splendid crop, / All round and red below the ground, and broad and green on top. / One day he pulled and ate them all-with salt they're very good- / Then Jimmy gave up gardening-but that is understood.
