A Lie Paid Me Lots
I got homework to do,
That is to learn the tables of twelve to two,
And only after that I’ll get an Apple pie…
So I began by putting my sulky head in the book,
But nay can’t concentrate…
Momma is gonna cook,
And its pervading smell can’t agglomerate…
I can’t wait and should shirk,
Shirk my homework…
I gotta lie,
Lie to momma for an apple pie,
Finally I told a lie…
And devoured delicious Apple pie…
The next day I was to recite,
But couldn’t cos I didn’t learn and write…
My teacher punished me,
By keeping me out of the classroom,
And now my legs pain a lot and I gasp and pant and sigh,
And I promise ne’er will I lie…
And shun my work to stay out of the classroom…
