The Boy Who Turned Out The Lights

Little Johnny, six years old,
was always such a pain
He wouldn't listen to his mum
when she would call his name.

"Little Johnny, don't do that,
you know you will get hurt",
But he'd just laugh at his mum
not heeding of her words.

One day he took a metal pin
and put it in a socket
His face turned blue, his hair turned white
His feet rose like a rocket.

Then all the sudden, to his surprise,
his fate... I'm sure you know
The lights in town all went out
except his eerie glow.
