The Ballad of Matt's Hand

by an0n

The day was very merry, the day was very grand, Until Matt ruined it by getting stabbed in the hand. He accidentally ran into a pencil, He was showing off, just for the thrill. In that moment, everyone was in shock, Blood all over his shirt like a surgeon’s smock The day was very merry, the day was very grand, Until Matt ruined it by getting stabbed in the hand. We ran looking for help, in that empty neighborhood, No one seeming to notice that our situation was not good. But alas, no one came to our rescue, And we had no idea what to do. The day was very merry, the day was very grand, Until Matt ruined it by getting stabbed in the hand. A woman drove up, in a white minivan, She quickly saw the wound on Matt’s hand. We gave our friend to this good samaritan, We waved goodbye to Matt as he approached the van and got in. The day was very merry, the day was very grand, Until Matt ruined it by getting stabbed in the hand. After this, we all quickly realized, We had given our friend to a stranger, and had even said our goodbyes. We knew we had to find him, and it had to be soon, We feared matt would be riding to his impending doom. So we went, house to house, knocking on every door, Until we found the right one, and we were rid of our horror.
