If I Had a Club
If I had a club I would beat myself over the head
I would fall into a heap, and be quickly and goodly dead.
If I had a gun, I would try to find bullets and a book.
To find out how to load it; to see if this is all it took.
If I had a pie I would smash it hard into my face.
I would crack my cheeks up, and become a big disgrace.
If I had a fish hook I would tear up my soft baby skin.
I would hurt myself quite nicely, stick myself with a sharp pin.
But alas, I have none of those things, and I guess you’re glad.
For you know it would hurt my mother, my uncle and my dad.
They are all in heaven rolling their eyes at this stupidity.
I am glad I don’t have these things; it saves little ole silly me.
