What Did Benjen Do?

The clock bell rang
And Benjen rose
The smock fell; Lang!
And Benjen froze

The day was new
The face was too

The doorbell rang
And Benjen ran
The milkman came
Benjen too

What happened then,
When knew his friend?

A rock fell; Dang!
And Benjen froze
The doctor gave
Benjen a brew

What happened then,
When knew his girl?

A house fell down.
And Benjen chose:
The blind girl's lame
But she will do

The day was new
But Benjen? No.

Thus died he, 
A rock froze still.
