Analysis of Nigel Sizer
Nigel Sizer was a clean old man.
He kept his teeth in a pickle jar,
hoping that the tooth fairy would come.
Nigel Sizer was a drunk old man.
Lived in a house made out of beer cans,
which he added to every night.
Nigel Sizer was a hairy old man.
His hair was braided into Princess Leia buns.
He was clean-shaven expect for his beard.
Nigel Sizer was a mean old man.
Yelling at everyone in his way.
Kicking dogs and throwing cats,
Then going home to feed his pet pig.
Nigel Sizer what did you do
when the final night came for you?
Who mourned your passing when you were gone?
Who fed your pet pig?
