Johnny Told a Lie Today

Johnny Told a Lie Today

Johnny told a lie today
And he knew I knew he did.
He may be able to fool some folks
But he can’t fool this kid!

He told the teacher, Mrs. B, that he did his work,
But dropped it on the floor,
When along came his St Bernard
And ran with it out the door!

Johnny told a lie today
(He's not an honest lad).
He said he lost the note
That the teacher wrote
For him to give to Dad.

Johnny told a whopper today
And doesn’t think our parents know
He thinks honesty is for little kids
And lies are the way to go.

Our little Chihuahua would be embarrassed
That teacher thinks he is a St Bernard
Big enough to destroy Johnny’s books
And run with his homework through the yard.

We have new neighbors moving in;
Mom invited them over for tea
Imagine my dear brother’s surprise
As he opened the door to Mrs. B.!

Awesome work. I like the melody I can hear in it. With today's kids, this is a serious problem. If only they were taught a lesson early by their parents, but it seems they aren't from some of the kids I've met.

This is very funny and clever and not funny at the same time.
Can be a serious life changing problem if left unchecked(speaking from much experience).
What's really sad is...what if all the steward's of this child are also liars?

God Bless !

After being around some of today's children I have found they lack any sort of remorse when it comes to telling lies. No payback for lying. You have hit the nail on the head with this one.
God bless and keep you
