The Lawyer’s Son

Jeremy was the son of a Lawyer.

He liked making little holes in the sofa.

They looked like little mouths.

Jeremy put food into the little holes of the sofa.

He gave them bread and butter, bacon, spinach, and meat sandwiches.

The holes became more and more like mouths. They grew teeth to chew the food.

One day Jeremy forgot to give the little holes their dinner.

One of them got cross and bit the Lawyer when he sat down to read his newspaper.

“You’d better look out,” said the Lawyer, and he had all the little mouths sewn up so that they could only say “Mmmmmmmmmmm.”

Jeremy made a very small hole under the sofa and pushed up vitamins.

The sofa got very thin, but its legs grew. Nobody can sit on it any more.

Only the madman with wings.

It can’t be cleaned, it’s too tall.
