BALLAD OF PRECOCIOUS ALOYSIUS AND BOO SANG K
1
Precocious Aloysius found a snake
‘Twas newly born, a tiny little thing
Gave it some of his mammy’s cake
And took it home with him
2
Precocious Aloysius cared for his snake
He called it Boo Sang K
He couldn’t wait to be awake
And played with it all day

3
Precocious Aloysius fed his snake
Which grew and grew and grew
Safety measures he refused to take
Precautions he failed at too

4
Precocious Aloysius loved his snake
He’d grown attached to it
Not for him a duck or drake
Only Boo Sang K would fit

5
Precocious Aloysius hid his snake
From all who’d want to know
Even from his best friend Jake
As Boo Sang K continued to grow

The Ballad of Precocious Aloysius and Boo Sang K (3rd instalment)

6
Precocious Aloysius took his snake
With him, to school, with hope
Cunningly, he sought to fake
Boo Sang K disguised as rope

7
Precocious Aloysius rolled up his snake
And lent it to Althea and Fay
He loaned to them at lunch break
So they could skip and play

8
Precocious Aloysius left his snake
As Althea held it’s tail
And pretty Fay was forced to take
It’s head secured with finger nail

9
The girls skipped gaily for an hour
But Boo Sang K had a seizure
It’s head went rigid and dour
It’s tail went into rapture

The Ballad of Precocious Aloysius and Boo Sang K (4th instalment)

10
The girls they dropped the snake
And fled with all displeasure
All for fear and panic sake
Caused Althea and Fay’s departure

11
Precocious Aloysius saw his snake
As it crawled away to munch
Then sneaked up close to Mrs Blake
While she enjoyed her lunch

12
Precocious Aloysius watched his snake
As it twisted round and round
The sturdy legs of Mrs Blake
Then teacher collapsed on the ground

13
Precocious Aloysius stared at his snake
As it carried away his teacher
Some pupils thought she earned her cake
For being an eager beater

The Ballad of Precocious Aloysius and Boo Sang K (Final instalment)

14
Precocious Aloysius rued his snake
Now everyone feared for their soul
Boo Sang K left panic in it’s wake
As it swallowed the teacher whole

15
Precocious Aloysius searched for his snake
All through the alley-ways and lanes
While Boo Sang K ravished Mrs Blake
And promptly vomited her bones

16
Precocious Aloysius and his snake
Became the stuff of legend, people say
At every lunch time during the break
They could hear a hissing Boo Sang K

17
Precocious Aloysius now lost his snake
Boo Sang K sounds the final death knell
A fire-breathing dragon it did make
And now guards the Gates of Hell
