Willie the Burper

Some kids can talk like Donald Duck,

Some know how to chirp.

But Willie J. can swallow air

And then rip off a burp.

He’ll belch at home and in the car

And at his grandma’s, too.

His grandpa always laughs and says,

“That’s what I used to do.”

“It’s not my fault,” he tells his mom,

“That they’re inside of me.

I feel them run around down there

And want to set them free.”

It’s hard to say what causes this,

But there’s no use to try.

I wonder how a zillion burps

Fit in this little guy.
