Tommy Balammi

There was a little baby
And some folks would say, just maybe,
That it’s such a shame this kid was even born.

The kids’ first name was Tommy
And his last name was Balammi
And this boys birth sign was that of Capricorn.

Now Tom had an affliction
That messed up stance and diction
And his use of pencils, slippers, forks and phones.

With little contemplating
And even lesser time debating
You could see that Tom was born without no bones.

Tom was not a walker
And not known much as a talker
And his parents carried him inside a bucket.

‘Cause of his boneless flaws
Tommy ate his meals through straws
And a sponge placed in his mouth so he could suck it.

It’s true Tommy’s life was rougher
And come Halloween was tougher
‘Cause his costumes were more specialized than some.

But the best one, he’d conclude,
Was to trick or treat all nude
And go door to door as chewed up bubble gum.
