The Tinmans Heart

The tinman had no heart,
He cried and cried till it was torn apart.
Even though he had a mind,

The tinman knew he wasn't blind.
It stopped beating, tap, tap, tap, 
No 
more,
A man made out of tin but 
No heart to get 
Sore.

Heart ache heart pain he didn't know of such,
Even with 
A little pain, there just wasn't much. But
Rather then set there and ask why,
The tinman went to work ,froze solid, and there he died.
