Collected Poems of Richard Griffin
When Johnny was six years old his Mother told him she would give him a new top if he was a good boy for one whole day.
Johnny went out to play. His little companions said, "Let's pick those apples."
Johnny answered, "Oh no, the apples are not ours."
Johnny was so affected by the wickedness of the other children, he stamped about and got mud all over one boot. When Johnny returned home and Mother saw the mud on Johnny's boot. Well, I won't say what happened but Johnny never got the new top.
