Carl Petty

As the tides get ready

And the boat gets steady

Off the boat proceeds Carl Petty.

He steps off the plank

Metal peg goes Clank!

Daughters says,

“He STANK!”

Then, off with a smile

To find a job

Laying tiles

“I’m going to build myself a house!

Not fit for a mouse,

But a giant like ME”

He pronounced with glee.

The next day

He had nothing to say

For he had no money.
