Some wealthy folks from U.S.A.,
Who lived near San Fransisco Bay,
Possessed an only child called Roy,
A plump and unattractive boy-
Half-baked, half-witted and half-boiled,
But worst of all, most dreadfylly spoiled.
Whatever Roy desired each day,
His father bought him right away-
Toy motorcars, electric trains,
The latest model aeroplanes,
A colour television-set,
A saxophone, a clarinet,
Expensive teddy-bears that talked,
And animals that walked and squawked.
The house contained sufficient toys
To thrill a half a million boys.
(As well as this, young Roy would choose,
Two pairs a week of brand-new-shoes.)
And now he stood there shouting, "What
On earth is there I haven`t got?
How hard to think of something new!
The choices are extremely few!"
Then added, as he scratched his ear,
"Hold it! I`ve got a good idea!"
