Altered Verse: A 'Nursery' Mind

 Little Jack Horner...


Sat in his lonely lil corner...


truly, without much to say...


he tried n' he tried
to express what's inside


but those fears he held
crippled his pride


n' instead he bled
from the beatings
he endured everyday


at home in his room
his momma couldn't fix his gloom
til she asked why the kids
keep him feelin' dismayed?


then Jack Horner,
quietly whispered...


"Because I'm sensitive
to other's feelings,
the boys think that I'm gay"


Now momma held him close
then proclaimed with reproach,
"Baby, be proud of who n' what
you are n' never allow anyone
to make you feel any other way!"
