Derek was a shy and timid boy in school Bullied and teased, he felt like a fool Every day he suffered at the hands of a bully Who made his life miserable and ghoulishly unruly One day after school, in an empty classroom he found Determined to turn the tables around He picked up a book on hypnosis and read About how to control someone's mind instead He decided to try it on his bully once and for all To make him obey his every call He focused his gaze and spoke with a steady tone "I command you to listen to me alone" The bully's eyes glazed over, lost in a trance Derek knew he had one single chance To make the bully never bully again And show him how it feels to live in pain "From now on, you'll only speak in rhyme For every word you say, it must chime" The bully blinked and then replied "I'll speak in rhyme, I'll be by your side" Derek couldn't believe his eyes The bully's words now came as a surprise Every sentence, every word In perfect rhyme, it was absurd The bully tried to resist But Derek's control couldn't be dismissed He made the bully do his bidding And ended his days of bullying and kidding The days went by and the bully stayed true To only speaking in rhyme, as Derek knew He became kind and gentle, no longer a threat All thanks to Derek's clever bet Derek had finally taken control And made the bully pay his toll He showed that with a little bit of power Even the strongest bully can cower So remember, next time you're in a bind Hypnotize your bully and control their mind But use your power wisely, don't abuse And watch as your bully's words amuse.
