My five year-old-son, he lies a lot, And I wanted it to end, So I told him about the boy who cried "wolf!" Hoping he would comprehend.
"He kept crying 'wolf!' when there was no wolf," I told my son, whom I adore. "When the wolf came to eat him, he called for help, But no one listened anymore."
My son's eyes grew wide; It looked like he got it; My heart was all aglow. But he dashed my hopes when he nodded and said, "I was eaten by a wolf once, you know."

Three old men on the golf course, (Each had trouble hearing well) Were playing a round on a breezy day, When one blew over and fell.
"Windy, isn't it?" said one of them, While helping the other to rise. "No, it's Thursday," said the second man. And they walked off to exercise.
The third man had listened intently; Now he chimed in, with good cheer; As he followed the others, he called out, "So am I. Let's have a beer!"
