The children told the teacher, all what they did that day <br />And as we know with children, they think and then they say <br />Exactly what they thought they saw, in innocence, no guile <br />Without a thought of consequence, and with a charming smile. <br /> <br />So little Johnny told the class, 'I saw a cat today <br />It was lying on the sidewalk and never more will play <br />It was dead as doornails, its tongue had all turned blue.' <br />The teacher then asked Johnny, 'And so what did you do? ' <br /> <br />'I bent down to the pussy cat and pissed right in its ear <br />But it reacted not at all, was dead as I did fear.' <br />The teacher shouted, 'You did what? You know you can't do that! ' <br />'Why not? ' the little boy replied, 'I only Pssst'ed that cat.'<br /><br />Christopher Higginson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-kids-say/
