The Small,Tall,Rich,Poor Boy

There was a small boy Whose heart was filled with joy But was noisy and people he annoyed. He was unemployed this comes to no surprise For he was a child but was six feet high Only at the age of five he towered over other guys He worked at the mill for his parents were ill And he awaited the day he could get their will For his father was rich like Moebey Dick And spent all of his days catching big fish It was the boys wish to be like his dad But, now that he was rich, fish was as costly as sand Then later he took the hand of the girl he was to marry But he being poor so the ring was made out of candy The girl's name was Sandy She was pretty, shy and dandy. The boy now being 19 became the father of 4 sons They were all fine except for the last one This one being ugly just like his mom Time went by quickly Soon the boys all got married except for the one whose nick name was Bones For he was ugly like his dad and wasn't very strong Now someone told me this story that you have just now read Don't know if it's true but they say the boy is now dead Said he told so many lies that he ups and gets killed Now I'm waiting among others to get part of his will.
