FARMER JONES’S GOAT

Reading edition

Illustration from Elfin songs of sunland

OLD Farmer Jones had a frisky old goat That wore a long beard and a hairy black coat, With hoofs on its feet and horns on its head, And a sad hungry look on its face while it fed.

Now what do you think was its favorite caper? It would eat Farmer Jones’s weekly Saturday paper; But the diet was more than the goat could endure, So it fed upon sawdust and rags for a cure.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
