Demon Boy

There's really nothing greater Than sucking on your thumb It's lots more fun than throwing up Or falling on your bum! They say I'm just a nasty child And cause a lot of pain They have no idea what trouble is Just let me try again! My mischief surely grieves them Their woe is my incentive I'll stuff the kettle full of sugar "Demon Boy" can be inventive! My middle name is "Crisis" They almost wrung my neck Shaved Rover with Dad's razor 'Twas my worstest beating yet! I've done a bunch of real bad things In my short and evil life But I get so much darn enjoyment Out of causing my parents strife There's really nothing greater Than sucking on your thumb It's lots more fun than throwing up Or falling on your bum! © Jack Ellison 2012

Sad that sometimes that a child is told that they are bad and evil..Enjoyed reading your creative work..I bet you have many experiences from life that can be told in poetic form for us to read..Sara
