Who Killed The Robin?<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who killed Cock Robin?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Maybe it was a goblin?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Who is Cock Robin?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A bird or a bobbin?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Who cares anyway?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

One Robin less today.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What else can I say?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Would this make a play?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Robins come and robins go.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Maybe killed by a crow?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I say, I just don\u2019t know.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This would be a dumb show.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Why write a poem about it?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Started, didn\u2019t want to quit.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t really give a s—.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Now, now, don\u2019t throw a fit.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

If Robin were alive today.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I wonder what he would say?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He probably can\u2019t talk anyway.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Just rock, bop, and sing all day.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

That is if he is a bird.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Remember, the bird is the word.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

At least, that\u2019s what I\u2019ve heard.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

One thing I haven\u2019t heard.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Would be a man named Cock.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t say that name rocks.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He would need to be wise, like a fox.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He would be teased\u00a0 a lot.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

So, we come around again.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The beginning is the end.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Who killed Cock Robin?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Too bad, but nobody is sobbing.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
