Henry McDonald

When Henry McDonald was not very old,

He wasn’t so nice,
In fact he was bold.
He brought spiders to school
To put in girls hair,
And pins to place upright
On his teacher’s chair.

His teachers cried, ‘Henry,

Please do as you’re told,
It makes us so sad,
When you are bold.’
But Henry just laughed,
‘I don’t care about you,
I’ll do whatever I want to do!’

When Henry went home,

To his own family’s house,
He wasn’t exactly as quiet as a mouse.
His father said, ‘Son,
Do put up your toys,
And then do your homework,
Don’t make so much noise!’

His mother cried, ‘Henry,

Please do as you’re told,
It really upsets me,
When you are bold.’
But Henry just laughed,
‘I don’t care about you,
I’ll do whatever I want to do!’

Now Henry’s grown up,

He’s forty years old,
And he has a boy,
Who’s so very bold.
He won’t do his homework,
He won’t do his chores,
He won’t listen when you say, ‘don’t pick your nose!’

Poor Henry cries, ‘Son,

Please do as you’re told,
I loose more and more hair every time you are bold!’
Henry Jr. just laughs,
‘I don’t care about you,
I’ll do whatever I want to do!’
