There Was a Boy Who Bumped His Head

For my grandson on the occasion of falling off his sled -- a little humor from your Gran

There was a boy

who bumped his head

it was no joy

when he rode his sled

for the boy

who bumped his head

He rolled in the snow

and he cried and he wailed

it was a hard blow

he felt he failed

the boy

who bumped his head

when he rode his sled

he got snow in his eyes

and snow in his snot

yes, you heard me – 

yes, snow in his snot

was what he got

so he cried and he cried

and he cried some more

so he did, this wee poor

boy . . . 

for it is no fun to have

snow in your snot

but snow in his snot

was what he got

when he rolled in the snow

from such a hard blow

the boy who bumped his head

when he rode his sled

when all of a sudden

his snot got froze

right there on his face,

right there on his nose

so crunchy and crumbly it was

that he made a snot snowball

it caused quite a buzz

turns out it can be fun

to have snow in your snot

when snow in your snot

is what you’ve got

when you roll in the snow

from such a hard blow

from bumping your head

when riding your sled

that you just have to 

laugh

the end
