He cut one finger

Brian Holmes

He cut one finger

And the other finger bled.

He cut off his head;

But he didn't have another,

So he's dead.

He shut one eye

And the other eye was gone.

He put his glasses on;

But he couldn't see to see,

So he's done.

The dwarf ate a giant

To become a giant too.

He grew and he grew,

But he couldn't hold him all,

So he's through.

The cot became a bed

And the bed became a boat.

But the boat couldn't float

Being heavy; and the lights

Went out.
