The Origin of the Pauper-Babies
A little girl,
Once had a little stuff animal named Missy,
That she love so much,
That it made her brother very jealous.
Then one day her brother,
Ripped the back legs,
Off of her stuff animal,
Just to be mean.
When that little girl,
Held what was left of the little stuff animal,
Named Missy,
She cried,
And a single tear of love fell on the stuff toy,
That she had loved so much.
That it came to life as a Pauper – Baby,
And that is why Pauper-Babies don’t have any back legs.
