Nobody Likes a Cripple
by: Nikolai

I once knew a man
Who had no skin;
He had a little trouble
Keepin' his insides in.

I once knew a man
With only one arm;
His missing limb
Greatly lessened his charm.

I once knew a man
Without any legs;
He wore long pants
To cover his pegs.

I once knew a man
With only one hand;
He couldn't play drums
In a rock 'n roll band.

I once knew a man
Who had just one tooth;
He got fired from his job
Workin' at a toll-booth.

I once knew a man
Who had no feet;
He had grown quite fond
Of stayin' in his seat.

I once knew a man
Who used a wheelchair;
He had a little trouble
Comin' up with cab fare.

I once knew a man
Who had no nose;
He used to sit around all day
And complain about his woes.

I once knew a man
With only one eye;
Spent his time watchin' QVC
Lookin' for somethin' to buy.

Nobody likes a cripple,
They get to cut in line.
Nobody likes a cripple,
They get the best parking spaces every time.
