You Cannot Make Me Sing

You cannot make me sing! Yelled the young boy, Jim.
He thought choirs were for sissies, not for him.
His grandma asked him next, so he tried it out.
Attending the first session with attitude and a pout.

You would be great! Said his Grandma Joyce.
You have an amazing baritone like voice!
He is worldwide famous with bells that ring. 
His entourage is so glad he was led to sing.

And, off to the bank with his earnings, I'm sure he doesn't care who thinks he is a sissy for singing.

we no longer are allowed to use that word or thousands of others, which is why I threw it in.
