• In the middle of illinois,
    lived an awfully troublesome boy,
    who they say used to enjoy
    finding poor souls to annoy

    One day while walking alone,
    he saw a dog with a bone.
    As a prank (to which he was prone)
    he took the dogs snack as his own.

    This didn't sit well with the mutt,
    for he felt quite empty in the gut.
    So rather than keep his mouth shut,
    he bit the young boy on the butt.

    For hours the boy seemed to cry,
    until his throat became dry.
    Then, with no explaination why
    he dropped dead, right where he lie.

    So swear that whatever you do
    when you cry tears, cry only a few.
    This story, I promise, is true!
    Now really, would I lie to you?
