Chapter 4 - Lewis the long-armed boy

]Lewis the long armed boy
This is Lewis,
he is quite a freak.
His arms are as long as cars,
but they really are weak.
His big giant feet,
on tiny stick legs,
could barely support him,
they were as small as clothes pegs.

His mighty long arms,
dragged on the floor,
as he walked anywhere,
they were cut red-raw.
He was always picked on,
at home or at school,
it didn’t matter where he was,
he was still called “Uncool”.

When he passed away,
at the age of ninety-three,
his arms had grown,
to the size of palm trees!
As his long slender coffin,
was dropped into the ground,
we all said a prayer,
that was heard all around.

“Please lord, bless this old man,
look after his tree like arms,
Make sure he’s well-liked,
and won’t come to harm”.
His soul went up to Heaven,
but he was stuck at the gates!
Heaven had closed for the day,
and he was too late.
