Someone ate the baby. <br />It's rather sad to say. <br />Someone ate the baby <br />So she won't be out to play. <br />We'll never hear her whiney cry <br />Or have to feel if she is dry. <br />We'll never hear her asking 'Why?' <br />Someone ate the baby. <br /> <br />Someone ate the baby. <br />It's absolutely clear <br />Someone ate the baby <br />'Cause the baby isn't here. <br />We'll give away her toys and clothes. <br />We'll never have to wipe her nose. <br />Dad says, 'That's the way it goes.' <br />Someone ate the baby. <br /> <br />Someone ate the baby. <br />What a frightful thing to eat! <br />Someone ate the baby <br />Though she wasn't very sweet. <br />It was a heartless thing to do. <br />The policemen haven't got a clue. <br />I simply can't imagine who <br />Would go and (burp) eat the baby.<br /><br />Sheldon Allan Silverstein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreadful/
