Larrys such a liar---He tells outrageous lies.He says hes ninety-nine years oldInstead of only five.He says he lives up on the moon,He says that he once flew.He says hes really six feet fourInstead of three feet two.He says he has a billion dollarsStead of just a dime.He says he rode a dinosaurBack in some distant time.He says his mother is the moonWho taught him magic spells.He says his father is the windThat rings the morning bells.He says he can take stones and rocksAnd turn them into gold.He says he can take burnin fireAnd turn it freezin cold.He said hed send me seven elvesTo help me with my chores.But Larrys such a liar---He only sent me four.
