Backwards Boy

This is a story about Barry Hunt Who tried to pull off a remarkable stunt He tried a bungee-jump without using a rope He then fell to the ground the silly dope And now his head is turned back to front. He now sees everything from the back Which often leads to a panic attack Because now when he needs a poo And he has to visit the loo He simply just doesn’t have the knack It’s even worse when he needs a wee Because Barry can no longer see His aim is so bad, which really makes him sad Cos to get bullseye he would need a degree This story of backwards boy Barry Ends with him finally becoming happy He then got a job as a teacher, which became a magazine feature And now he was a celebrity chappie With his eyes now on ‘the back of his head’ He could see what the children had said Although there was no cure, he got awarded Teacher of the year And he celebrated when his name was declared Barry partied all day and he partied all night He danced the ‘backward robot’ until it was light Despite Barry’s backwards life, that night he met June his wife and now Barry and June are doing alright.
