Michael Jones received a call:
"Throw your ball into the wall.
Are you tall or very small
I don't care, my boy, at all".

Michael Jones has worn a coat,
Gone outside to walk his goat.
But he actually forgot
There's no goats in his small boat.
#3
Michael Jones was on the Lake
With his wife and self-baked cake
Giving her some pills to take
And avoid a stomachache.
#4
Michael Jones forgot to send
Movies with a happy end.
#5
Michael Jones was very dull
'Cause there's no pool in his school.

Michael had to take a look
But, eh, he already took.
