A Boy Named John

Let me tell you a poem 
It won’t take long
I’ll only tell you this once
It’s about a boy named John

John lives in Georgia 
He lives all alone 
Always stealing stuff
To put in his one story home

He cries like a baby 
All through the night 
When he hears stuff in his closet
That gives him a fright

He stays in the house 
Sleeps endlessly in bed 
He rarely gets up 
To even get a slice of bread 

One cold snowy morning 
John was found dead 
He has died a good death 
While sleeping in bed
