Miss Gregg was a concerned teacher,
who proudly taught elementary.
She had a problem student,
and his name was Little Johnny.
Little Johnny liked to tell fibs,
and everyone was sick of them.
So Miss Gregg had a bright idea,
I'll tell my own tall tale to him.
Then perhaps Johnny would realize,
just how silly it was to lie,
and maybe he'd stop doing it.
She thought,"at least it's worth a try."
Approaching Little Johnny,
she said,"guess what happened to me?"
"I was hiking through the forest,
enjoying all the scenery."
"As I walked down a rustic trail,
that followed along a wide stream,
I noticed standing on his hind legs,
a grizzly that caused me to scream!"
"This beast was about to attack,
when a small dog charged from the woods,
and knocked down that angry ol' bear,
where that big ugly brute once stood."
"They rolled and tussled in a brawl,
till one of them had wounds that bled.
The weiner dog was left standing,
while that grizzly bear lay dead."
"Then that dog clutched that big ol' bear,
and dragged this beaten foe away.
While I safely walked onward,
enjoying this most bizarre day."
"Now what do you think of that Johnny?"
His thoughts appeared lost in a fog,
until he grinned from ear to ear,
and announced,"Hey, that was my dog!"
