Once there was a boy
The boy wanted good things to happen to him
Somewhere he heard that if he did good things
He would get good things
He also heard that if he did bad things
He would get bad things
Of course karma couldn’t deliver on either promise
And the boy knew that
But he still tried to do mostly good things
Someone asked him why he did good things
Even though good wasn’t coming his way
The boy shrugged and sat down to think
But he got a little distracted
By the hungry gurgles of his empty stomach
So he smiled at the questioners
Apologized for not knowing how to answer
And offered them a sandwich
