His name was Jack Horner.
At least, Boy Blue called him Jack Horner.
And I'll tell you why he called him Jack Horner, too.
His real name was Jack Horne.
Jack was a very jolly boy.
He had round red cheeks and twinkling eyes, and he was always running and jumping about and laughing at everything.
One morning when he waked up he was happier than ever.
In fact, he was the happiest boy in town.
I know he was, for he said so, and he ought to know.
His birthday was coming.
