Prologue:
2
There was once a boy named Pierre
3
Who only would say, I don't care!
4
Read his story, my friend, for you'll find
5
At the end that a suitable
6
Moral lies there
7
(Chapter I)
8
One day his mother said
9
When Pierre climbed out of bed
10
-Good morning, darling boy, you are my only joy
11
Pierre said-I don't care!
12
-What would you like to eat?
13
-I don't care!
14
-Some lovely cream of wheat?
15
-I don't care!
16
-Don't sit backwards in your chair
17
-I don't care!
18
-Or pour syrup on your hair
19
-I don't care!
20
-You are acting like a clown
21
-I don't care!
22
-And we have to go to town
23
-I don't care!
24
-Don't you want to come, my dear?
25
-I don't care!
26
-Would you rather stay right here?
27
-I don't care!
28
So his mother left him there
29
(Chapter II)
30
His father said-Get off your head
31
Or I will march you up to bed!
32
Pierre said-I don't care!
33
-I would think that you could see--
34
-I don't care!
35
-Your head is where your feet should be!
36
-I don't care!
37
-If you keep standing upside down--
38
-I don't care!
39
-We'll never get to town
40
-I don't care!
41
-If only you would say, I care
42
-I don't care!
43
-I'd let you fold the folding chair
44
-I don't care!
45
So his parents left him there
46
They didn't take him anywhere
47
(Chapter III)
48
Now as the night began to fall
49
A hungry lion paid a call
50
He looked Pierre right in the eye
51
And asked him if he'd like to die
52
Pierre said-I don't care!
53
-I can eat you, don't you see?
54
-I don't care!
55
-And you will be inside of me
56
-I don't care!
57
-Then you will never have to bother--
58
-I don't care!
59
-With a mother and a father
60
-I don't care!
61
-Is that all you have to say?
62
-I don't care!
63
-Then I'll eat you, if I may
64
-I don't care!
65
So the lion ate Pierre
66
(Chapter IV)
67
Arriving home at six o'clock
68
His parents had a dreadful shock!
69
They found the lion sick in bed and cried
70
-Pierre is surely dead!
71
They pulled the lion by the hair
72
They hit him with the folding chair
73
His mother asked-Where is Pierre?
74
The lion answered-I don't care!
75
His father said-Pierre's in there!
76
(Chapter V)
77
They rushed the lion into town
78
The doctor shook him up and down
79
And when the lion gave a roar
80
Pierre fell out upon the floor
81
He rubbed his eyes and scratched his head
82
And laughed because he wasn't dead
83
His mother cried and held him tight
84
His father asked-Are you allright?
85
Pierre said-I am feeling fine
86
Please take me home, it's half past nine
87
The lion said-If you would care
88
To climb on me, I'll take you there
89
Then everyone looked at Pierre
90
Who shouted-Yes, indeed, I care!
91
The lion took them home to rest
92
And stayed on as a weekend guest
93
The moral of Pierre is: CARE!
