Poor Kid

Silly Billy played with matches.
Now he wears 2 eye patches.
Poor kid. Poor kid.
Too bad he always did
exactly what his mother forbid.

Willy Nilly threw sticks and stones.
Now he has 4 broken bones.
Poor kid. Poor kid.
Too bad he always did
exactly what his mother forbid.

Crazy Maizy ran with knives.
If she were a cat, she'd have 8 lives.
Poor kid. Poor kid.
Too bad she always did
exactly what her mother forbid.

Chester the Jester played in traffic.
I'd tell you what happened,
but it's much too graphic.
Poor kid. Poor kid.
Too bad he always did
exactly what his mother forbid.

Poor kid. Poor kid.
Too bad each always did
exactly what their mothers forbid.
If only each kid hadn't been
to woefully poor to pay attention!
