Permission granted
Is it really? he said
never thought of it like that
while his hand full of glue
was sticking at his neck
He did not know what to do
how to get rid of the glue
he tried everything he could
yet without resultations
Many people did try to help
but no one had a clue
how to get rid of that sticky stuff
so one day he had enough
He asked a friend to build
a nice wooden guillotine
that would solve his problem fast
without any hesitation
So one day everyone gathered
at the village square
everybody was all dressed up
like in the old french way
There was a jester fooling around
making the people laugh
and when the glueman did arrive
all the noise stopped
There was the roll of drums
as he climbed up on the stairs
where he laid his head down
so the implementation could take place
The people did not set a basket
on stage before the guillotine
so when his head got chopped off
it rolled downwards to a dog
The dog opened his mouth and grabbed
the head and shook with it to the right and left
putting the crowd in a state of shock
and leaving them with the misfortune
