Y friend, Johnny Jones, once played hookey from school, (a quite reprehensible thing.) In plain contravention of precept and rule, (a most inexcusable thing.) Played hookey with many a sly, backward look, Till he found him a seat by the bank of a brook, Where he skillfully wriggled a worm on a hook, (a quite unforgivable thing.)
