sheds tears;
When Henry's head hurts and he goes
to bed,
Then Ben surely has a pain in his

When Ben goes to blowing, then
Henry must pillow,
When Henry goes milking, Ben; too,

Then Henry gets into his suit that IS
pressed.
When one comes to town the others

side of them and accidentally got one
of those boxes open. and you know
we three ate both boxes full empty
and they had to buy more before they
went home.
