TALE AS OLD AS TIME
TALE AS OLD AS TIME
My name is Charles, but you can call me Chip
As a boy, I lived in a large castle as a maid’s son
We never had much and my cloths always had a slight rip
With thirty-two rooms to run around in I had great fun
But one day no one was home
I climbed all the stairs to the top of the North Tower
Then I slid all the way down sitting on a square piece of foam
I was going so fast I had no way to stop I kept picking up more power
Last thing I remember, I was flying off a big bump
I woke up in my bed, but my head hurt bad
Now above my lip there’s a teacup scar, my mom calls it my special lump
Nothing else was hurt and my mom says I should be very glad
And now because of that scar above my lip
You can call me Chip
