Tucker Short

The biggest boy in all the school Was Charlie Bull, who was no fool! All the pupils knew the truth, This bully was just so uncouth. Every day he had to fight, He’d bust your nose just for spite. But nobody could have ever guessed Why Friday would have been so blessed. Tucker Short was on his way To ‘Green Boys High’ that very day. His surname surely did reflect, His shortened height in that respect! Tucker saw the bully coming, And as the other boys were running, Looked around to see the fuss, Then shouted out ‘who’s this big wuss?’ Not a sound could be heard, As all the pupils stopped and stared, At a boy no bigger than a mouse, With the bully as tall as a house! What’s that you say?’ was Charlie’s bellow, ‘I’ll break your nose, you silly fellow.’ ‘I won’t just break it once for fun, I’ll break it till I’m truly done!’ The fall was quick, he couldn’t see, The midget who just kicked his knee, And before he kicked his other leg The bully said, ‘please stop I beg!’ And on that day at Green Boys High, The pupils, they did say ‘goodbye’ To Charlie, who just couldn’t hack, A hero. He would not be back!
