My parents both sent me, To my room for a rest, Said this crazy story, Was surely my best! A thief conquered by love, Is really absurd, Like a fish with toenails, Or a featherless bird! They turned-off my light, They closed my room’s door, Said I couldn’t come out, ‘Til ¼ past four! But when I looked at my clock, I saw 5, 6, and 7, All the numbers were there, Except the 11!
