I Saw a Jolly Hunter (Charles Causley)

I saw a jolly hunter With a jolly gun Walking in the country In the jolly sun. In the jolly meadow Sat a jolly hare. Saw the jolly hunter. Took jolly care. Hunter jolly eager - Sight of jolly prey. Forgot gun pointing Wrong jolly way. Jolly hunter jolly head Over heels gone. Jolly old safety-catch Not jolly on. Bang went the jolly gun. Hunter jolly dead. Jolly hare got clean away, Jolly good, I said.
