 Prologue:There was once a boy named Pierre Who only would say, I don`t care! Read his story, my friend, for you`ll find At the end that a suitable Moral lies there (Chapter I) One day his mother said When Pierre climbed out of bed -Good morning, darling boy, you are my only joy Pierre said-I don`t care! -What would you like to eat? -I don`t care! -Some lovely cream of wheat? -I don`t care! -Don`t sit backwards in your chair -I don`t care! -Or pour syrup on your hair -I don`t care! -You are acting like a clown -I don`t care! -And we have to go to town -I don`t care! -Don`t you want to come, my dear? -I don`t care! -Would you rather stay right here? -I don`t care! So his mother left him there (Chapter II) His father said-Get off your head Or I will march you up to bed! Pierre said-I don`t care! -I would think that you could see-- -I don`t care! -Your head is where your feet should be! -I don`t care! -If you keep standing upside down-- -I don`t care! -We`ll never get to town -I don`t care! -If only you would say, I care -I don`t care! -I`d let you fold the folding chair -I don`t care! So his parents left him there They didn`t take him anywhere (Chapter III) Now as the night began to fall A hungry lion paid a call He looked Pierre right in the eye And asked him if he`d like to die Pierre said-I don`t care! -I can eat you, don`t you see? -I don`t care! -And you will be inside of me -I don`t care! -Then you will never have to bother-- -I don`t care! -With a mother and a father -I don`t care! -Is that all you have to say? -I don`t care! -Then I`ll eat you, if I may -I don`t care! So the lion ate Pierre (Chapter IV) Arriving home at six o`clock His parents had a dreadful shock! They found the lion sick in bed and cried -Pierre is surely dead! They pulled the lion by the hair They hit him with the folding chair His mother asked-Where is Pierre? The lion answered-I don`t care! His father said-Pierre`s in there! (Chapter V) They rushed the lion into town The doctor shook him up and down And when the lion gave a roar Pierre fell out upon the floor He rubbed his eyes and scratched his head And laughed because he wasn`t dead His mother cried and held him tight His father asked-Are you allright? Pierre said-I am feeling fine Please take me home, it`s half past nine The lion said-If you would care To climb on me, I`ll take you there Then everyone looked at Pierre Who shouted-Yes, indeed, I care! The lion took them home to rest And stayed on as a weekend guest The moral of Pierre is: CARE! |
