C J Dennis - Our StreetC J Dennis - Our Street
Work rating: Medium


In our street, the main street   Running thro` the town, You see a lot of busy folk   Going up and down: Bag men and basket men,   Men with loads of hay, Buying things and selling things   And carting things away. The butcher is a funny man,   He calls me Dandy Dick; The baker is a cross man,   I think he`s often sick; The fruiterer`s a nice man,   He gives me apples, too; The grocer says, "Good morning, boy,   What can I do for you?" Of all the men in our street   I like the cobbler best, Tapping, tapping at his last   Without a minute`s rest; Talking all the time he taps,   Driving in the nails, Smiling with his old grey eyes -   (Hush)… telling fairy tales.
