Old Reliable Trick
Back in the day
Tom played this trick
He told his mom
That he was quite sick
He faked a sore throat
Or sinus congestion
At times he threw up
From fake indigestion
Mom said, "Oh dear,
You can't go to school."
Tom tried to look glum
Said, "That's not too cool.
I'll miss so much work,
And there's a math test..."
Mom said, "Shh! Now be still, Tom.
You've got to rest."
So off trudged Tom
To his lonely bedroom
Where awaited TV and ice cream
To dispel his deep gloom ...
You can how Tom "suffered"
For playing this trick---
Let that be a lesson to you kids
When you pretend to be sick
