Sparky



I met a boy
Sparky
Who was
Full of malarkey

He said he had powers
That could cause pain
And when he had said this
It started to rain

So I said that
Your power
Is simply
To shower with rain

He avoided the question
And asked for suggestions
To name his pet cow

So I said
Call him Howard
But he misheard
Now the cow is called Coward

It is rather strange
For a name
To be Coward
When his cow never cowers

As well as for sparky
And all his malarkey
To have such a power
As creating a shower

He then got a chicken
That was simply named Chicken

Why is it fear
He names his pets here
When his hobby
Is collecting the ears
Of the corn from the field

He promised me a wish
But all I got was a dish
With a small smelly fish
