of laziness [bodytext] => Johnny Suwannee was cool.
He followed the golden rule.
The young mathematician had made a decision
to do all his homework at school.

Johnny Suwannee would comb
all hair on his vacuous dome.
The young mathematician reversed his decision
and did all his schoolwork at home.

Johnny Suwannee grew tall.
increasing the state of his gall.
The young mathematician renewed his decision
and did NOT his homework at all.

Johnny Suwannee:
Ate marzipannee,
Played a harmonnee,
Worked for a carnee,
Went to Killarnee
Kissed the Blarnee,
Saved all his monee.

At the end of these deeds.
He added his needs,
and found that since birth
No ups to net worth.

Johnny Suwannee:
knew he had faults,
no monee in vaults,
no monee for malts.
brain worked in halts,
doc said, "No salts",
knew not to waltz.

Johnny Suwannee was down.
He walked about all over town.
The old mathematician did know his condition
and lived all his life as a clown.

Johnny Suwannee, Begorree,
will never gain fame nor gain gloree,

So...

Don't mess up at school 'cause you'll be the fool
and that is the end of the story.
