BOBBY
As I got older I kept getting stranger and stranger,

And mother kept saying: "If you don't stop burning brother's
toys, we're going to have to send you away." And I was always
thinking up these spectacular ways how to kill myself. But then
I realized -- to commit suicide in buffalo is redundant!
