Poem by Dylan Thomas

Johnnie Crack and Flossie Snail

Johnnie Crack and Flossie Snail
Kept their baby in a milking pail
Flossie Snail and Johnnie Crack
One would pull it out and one would put it back.

O it's my turn now said Flossie Snail
To take the baby from the milking pail
And it's my turn now said Johnnie Crack
To smack it on the head and put it back.

Johnnie Crack and Flossie Snail
Kept their baby in a milking pail
One would put it back and one would pull it out
And all it had to drink was ale and stout
For Johnnie Crack and Flossie Snail
Always use to say that stout and ale
Was good for a baby in a milking pail.

1. Unluckily for a Death
2. In Country Sleep
3. Into Her Lying Down Head
4. Out of the Sighs
5. Why East Wind Chills
