R* had to memorize the following poem:
A man of words and not of deeds.
Is like a garden full of weeds;
And when the weeds begin to grow,
It's like a garden full of snow;
And when the snow begins to fall,
It's like a bird upon the wall;
And when the bird away does fly,
It's like an eagle in the sky;
And when the sky begins to roar,
It's like a lion at the door;
And when the door begins to crack,
It's like a stick across your back;
And when your back begins to smart,
It's like a penknife in your heart;
And when your heart begins to bleed,
You're dead, you're dead, and dead indeed.
alternative ending:
ReplyDeleteAnd when your heart begins to bleed,
It's red, it's red, it's red indeed.
And when your heart begins to fail,
it's like a ship without a sail.
And when the the sail begins to sink,
it's like a bottle full of ink.
And when the bottle begin to fall,
the blood turns black at all.
