Everybody liked Ezekiel.
Why?
You could scarcely find his equal.
Why?
If he made a mistake, / He said he was wrong; / If he went on an errand, / He wasn't gone long; / He never would bully, / Although he was strong!
Everybody hated Mello.
Why?
He was such a surly fellow.
Why?
If you asked him for candy, / He'd hide his away; / He never would play / What the rest wished to play; / He would say horrid words / That he oughtn't to say!
