ribbon

by nick nelson





johnny had a ribbon
he cut it with a knife
he escaped into the desert
to redeem his worthless life

mary had a little lamb
at 45th and main
she bought it from the queen of sheba
and sold it to the king of spain

william had a business
he sold it to phil
phil caught catfish
down by the old mill

bigfoot stole a bicycle
and rode it to the moon
if the police catch him
he will sing a sad tune

henry ford and woodrow wilson
sitting on a branch
henry shot a cannonball
woodrow bought the ranch

i will do better, mother
exclaimed miss sara lee
the major may be a gentleman
but he is not too good for me
