The Reason Why
Everybody liked Ezekiel.
Why?
You could scarcely find his equal.
Why?
If he made a mistake,
He said he was wrong;
If he went on an errand,
He wasn’t gone long;
He never would bully,
Although he was strong!
Everybody hated Mello.
Why?
He was such a surly fellow.
Why?
If you asked him for candy,
He’d hide his away;
He never would play
What the rest wished to play;
He would say horrid words
That he oughtn’t to say!
