My Neighbor Asked For Sugar One Day
O, my neighbor asked me for some sugar one day
I must say; I did not expect it.
On Thursday he said
“Please, a tad of sugar, Mr. Looker,
Tis needed to bake me a cake”.
“Oh Johnny, me boy-o!”
Said me, Mr. Looker
“Well, a baker would by his own damn sugar!
Yet, since I am nice, like my wife Ms. Ponce
I’ll give you some sugar but just this once!”
Johnny walked wayward with a pound of fine sugar,
I came into my house,
The house of Looker.
On Friday morning,
The whole damn town did awake,
To have a slice of Johnny’s good old breakfast cake.
