never would his parents have thought.

The lad was bright and he learned to

But his limbs were as twisted as the tree

and never would he walk

People would come to stop and stare

and you could hear them say

It doesn't seem to me to be quite fair
C

and then be on their way.

to laugh the day he passed away
Am

He's really not dead, he's just taking a nap,
