Who played with a Loaded Gun, and, on missing his Sister, was reprimanded by his Father.

Young Algernon, the Doctors Son,
Was
playing with a Loaded Gun.
He pointed it towards his sister,
Aimed very carefully, but

The Loud Explosion chanced to Hear,

And reprimanded Algernon
For playing with a Loaded Gun.
