Bill McBone

By Allen Ahlberg (b. 1938)

Billy McBone

Had a mind of his own,

Which he mostly kept under his hat.

The teachers all thought

That he couldn"t be taught,

But Bill didn"t seem to mind that.

Billy McBone

Had a mind of his own,

Which his teachers had searched for for years.

Trying test after test,

They still never guessed

It was hidden between his ears.

Billy McBone

Had a mind of his own,

Which he kept under lock and key.

While the teachers in vain

Tried to burgle his brain,

Bill"s thoughts were off wandering free.
