The Sana of l a ic Nnerd
And the Poison Weeds
There was a man named Eric
Sneeds
Who died of eating poison
weeds.
He planted many vegetables
But as only one who knows.
He made a mistake in what he
ate
And suffered from a fatal
stomach ache.
So you and I shouldn't utter
cries
For Eric Sneeds and where he
lies.
So we should know the weeds to
know
And not join Eric down below .
