My art teacher, Mr .Shay
had 3 horses who ate hay
A small one died
And the rest were killed for hide
The enemy of Harry Potter
Was a very nice plotter
I would be ashamed
To tell "He who must not be named"
When I was a pirate I found some gold treasure
This gave me so much pleasure
Now I am an actor
Who drives a sweet tractor
Once upon a time
someone ate a small lime
This was magic of course
Now his voice is coarse
I once went to Spain
There I found a man with a cane
I knocked his small cane over
And found a 3 leaf clover
