Poor, Poor, Poor, Poor Johnny





Johnny brought a note home from school today
For mentioning ‘private parts’
But Johnny learned those words at school
Disguised as ‘health’ and ‘the arts’

Johnny brought a note home from school today
For a naughty, naughty word
But Johnny only repeated something
That he often overheard

Johnny brought a note home from school today
About ‘unruly play’
But Johnny was simply being ‘the guy’
On a show that he watched yesterday

Poor, poor, poor, poor Johnny
For he is only six
And reprimanded for ‘bad choice’
By those who lay the bricks
