Johnny, Johnny saw a wall,
Bigger than the biggest tall.
It was taller than the hall,
Longer than the longest wall.

Johnny, Johnny climbed the bricks,
Foot then foot into the cricks.
At the top his lips he licked,
And stood there on the wall so thick.

Johnny, Johnny tripped and fell,
How far he fell no-one could tell.
His landing sounded like a bell,
He strangely did not hurt a cell.

Johnny, Johnny said ‘oh, yes,
I made it and without a mess!’
He could not do it any less,
Because of his courageousness.
