Sandwich

Once a sandwich (cheese and meat)
Longed to breath air fresh and sweet.
"I'll relax beneath the trees,"
Thought the sandwich (meat and cheese) 
And he convinced the jelly roll 
To come with him upon this stroll 
But when the teacups saw them go,
They shook their handles to and fro
And in distress began to shout,
"Sandwich, dummy, don't go out!
Sandwich, you have lost your mindl
Stay inside with your own kind!
Hungry kids are out to play.
They will catch you right away.
And for being such a dummy,
You'll end up in Murya's tummy!
You big dummy;
You big dummy;
You'll end up in Murya's tummy!"
