The Boy Who Wanted To Grow
There once was a boy who wanted to grow
bigger than any life that we know.
Everyday he would eat and than eat
Until finally came the day that he couldn't see his feet.
His village were in tears and pleading him to stop
it seemed they were starving for days and couldn't find a crop
but sadly their efforts were eventually dismissed
when not even the young boy's family were missed,
as he scraped them out from under his teeth
its not what he wanted but what his body now need
