James And The Giant Peach

James is so happy
Not like others of any
James is so frustrated
And his aunt is mated

James has brown hair
But his auntie didn’t care
James eyes are black
He couldn’t even look at the shack

He is getting thinner by the moment
Even though he is all spent
His manners are still polite
And his spirit is full of light

The animals and insects are joyful
But his aunt is as grumpy as a bull
The centipedes song is fine
But the best is mine
