TO ALL THE PARENTS/TEACHERS WHO HAVE TAUGHT ME HOW CHARACTER COUNTS.  

THE TROUBLE BEGAN 

     WHEN I TOLD A FIB

WHAT HARM COULD IT DO

     I WAS ONLY A KID

NO ONE HAD WARNED ME

   SO HOW COULD I KNOW

FIB

THAT ONE LITTLE FIB

 COULD CONTINUE TO GROW

IT STARTED ONE DAY

WHEN I TOLD MY TWO FRIENDS

    THAT IT WAS OKAY

TO WEAR MOMMY'S THINGS

I THOUGHT THEY WOULD LIKE ME

    BUT I NEVER KNEW

THAT TELLING ONE FIB

    COULD GROW INTO TWO

NOW MY SISTER WALKED IN

   AND CAUGHT US ONE DAY

FIB NO. 2

DID YOU GO ASK MOM

      DID SHE SAY OKAY?

 I KNEW THERE'D BE TROUBLE

    SO GUESS WHAT I DID

INSTEAD OF THE TRUTH

        I TOLD ONE MORE FIB

 I COULDN'T EXPLAIN

   MY FRIENDS STARRED AT ME

 SO I TOLD MY BIG SISTER

   FIB NUMBER 3

 WHEN MOMMY CAME HOME 

    WE WERE CLEANING OUR MESS
