The Third Ear

An extra ear has Danny Geer,

on his head, and at the rear.

It’s the best ear of the three,

for it can hear all sounds that be.

The fun of this is that he hears

the whispered secrets of his peers.

He heard that Sally tried to smoke,

and it darn near made her choke.

He heard that Tara once liked Doug,

and now she thinks that he’s a slug.

He heard that Ben Clark stole some gum.

He heard the teacher’s really dumb.

He heard that Sandra has to keep

her teddy close so she can sleep.

Then something made his three ears droop —

he heard that Danny Geer’s a snoop!
