Jimmy

All was lost, as Jimmy had found
His family at sea, and all had drowned
And he was to live with his Auntie Emma
his Uncle, George and his cousin - Gemma

They welcomed Jim with a bucket and mop
said, "your dinner's there, just pick- up the slop"
Jim was chastened and heartily hungry,
He gobbled the spill and was sickened and sundry

He lived as such till twenty-one
When, thoughts of freedom finally gone,
His family returned to Gullible Jim:
For they had only been teasing him.
