After the Party

Jonathan Blake

Ate too much cake,

He isn’t himself today;

He’s tucked up in bed

With a feverish head,

And he doesn’t much care to play.

Jonathan Blake

Ate too much cake.

And three kinds of ice-cream too —

From latest reports

He’s quite out of sorts,

And I’m sure the reports are true.

I’m sorry to state

That he also ate

Six pickles, a pie, and a pear;

In fact I confess

It’s a reasonable guess

He ate practically everything there.

Yes, Jonathan Blake

Ate too much cake,

So he’s not at his best today;

But there’s no need for sorrow,

I’m sure he’ll be out to play.
