wanted to present to them2:
It was a problem and it was a gigantic
A giant that was so gigantic, it tormented everyone
It tormented the boy even more
The boy was a child
And he did the worst for the child
Just for the kid, he had a jackhammer
He made little holes

When he was a child and the boy was a child
Clever
Thoughtful

And the boy had an artist mother
The child boy had an artist mother!!!
The smart boy and the artist mother took a picture of the giant

With funny hair and there was the jackhammer
Making holes in the head
And making everyone nervous and quarrelsome and then...
