A plain wooden box held a priceless prize, A beautiful black ornament of a modest size. Suddenly appeared a pair of angry white hands, That snatched the black ornament, breaking its bands. They threw it on the ground and punched it and hit, And dragged it horribly in a frenzied fit. They took a long rope and tied it around, And strung it from a tree limb tightly bound. The hands were happy to let it go to swing there back and forth real slow They watched until the ornament cracked, And clapped for joy that they did this act. When The beautiful black ornament hung for a time, One would suspect there was committed a crime. The angry white hands in a crude follow up, Took the beautiful black ornament and chopped it up. Then the angry white hands took all that remained, And then took a match and set it aflame. It burned to ashes in this frightful event, The end of the beautiful black ornament.
