Someone ate the baby it's rather sad to say <br />Someone ate the baby so she won't be out to play <br />We'll never hear her whiney cry or have to feel if she is dry <br />We'll never hear her asking why why why someone ate the baby <br />Someone ate the baby it's absolutely clear <br />Someone ate the baby cause the baby isn't here <br />We'll give away her toys and clothes we'll never have to wipe her nose <br />Dad says that's the way it goes someone ate the baby <br />Someone ate the baby what a frightful thing to eat <br />Someone ate the baby though she wasn't very sweet <br />It was a heartless thing to do the policemen haven't got a clue <br />I simply can't imagine who would go and (burp) eat the baby<br /><br />Sheldon Allan Silverstein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/someone-ate-the-baby/
