Zachariah Zood

Zachariah (Zacky) Zood
Thought himself a real cool dude
When he was, well, just plain rude.
While folks were talking, he'd intrude,
No "please" or "thankyou."

Whenever he was in a mood
At table, he'd spit out his food.
Not only that, Zack's speech was strewed
With gimme's, wanna's - he was crude.
No "please" or "thankyou."

Till one school outing, trouble brewed,
The keeper's warnings he poo-poohed,
Reached down to poke the lion's brood
And ended up, alas, well-chewed.
No "please" or "thankyou."
