Sloppy, Slippery Rock

(Parody of Hickory Dickory Dock)

Sloppy, slippery rock
The boy ran up the rock.
The rock shook once.
The boy ran down.
Sloppy, slippery rock

Sloppy, slippery rock
The boy ran up the rock.
The rock shook twice.
The boy ran down.
Sloppy, slippery rock

Sloppy, slippery rock
The boy ran up the rock.
The rock shook thrice.
The boy ran down.
Sloppy, slippery rock

Sloppy, slippery rock
The boy ran up the rock. 
The rock gave way.
The boy lost his sway.
Sloppy, slippery rock

What I really like about this is how, just like 'Mother G.,' that last stanzy is nasty! Good one, Valsa.
