Nothing ever made sense
But in his own silly defense
He’d wiggle and pose
Though nobody knows
Exactly why he was so dense
No matter what anyone said
It never got into his head
So he joined a rock band
That played in the sand
Long enough to make him some bread
He became a star on the stage
From morning til night, he’d engage
All the town folk, those women
Whose hearts were abrimmin’
Came running to him, a rampage!
He had no clue, what next he should do
So he begged, “On me please don’t tread!”
