A poem by Elizabeth Turner

The Result Of Cruelty

________________________________________________
Title:     The Result Of Cruelty
Author: Elizabeth Turner [More Titles by Turner]

Jack Parker was a cruel boy,
For mischief was his sole employ;
And much it grieved his friends to find
His thoughts so wickedly inclined.

He thought it clever to deceive,
And often ramble without leave;
And ev'ry animal he met
He dearly loved to plague and fret.

But all such boys, unless they mend,
May come to an unhappy end,
Like Jack, who got a fractured skull
Whilst bellowing at a furious bull.





[The end]
