The Need to Read

Little Timmy was not so bright
His reading skills just weren’t right
And one morning on the way to school
He made a mistake – just miniscule
But this one small error cost him dear
Which is why he is no longer here.

Timmy was waiting at the bus stop
Sucking on a red lollipop
A vehicle drove past, Timmy misread
The ‘T’ on the back for a ‘CH’ instead
Blindly he chased, around the corner he came
And fell twenty feet down into a crap drain.

Sticking down hoses they tried to save
Poor Little Timmy from an excrement grave
But the rivers of poop washed him under
And Timmy was lost to his alphabet blunder
So teach your kids how to read and ensure success
Or they too could fall victim into a real shitty mess.
