ENSIGN JOHNNY.

Reading edition

This is Ensign Johnny: See him armed for fight! Mice are in the garret; Forth he goes to smite. Ready for the battle, He is not afraid; For the cat, as captain, Will be by to aid. Now, good-by, my Johnny! Soldiers must be brave: While puss does the fighting, You the flag can wave. Do not, like a coward, From the field retreat: Forward, Ensign Johnny, And the mice defeat!
