Sticks and stones
May break my bones,
But names will
Never hurt me.

Words are words,
No harm done.
They last but a second
And they don’t hurt a bit.

Sticks and stones
May break my bones,
But names will
Never kill me.

Those words still sting,
Longest second of my life,
The pain is there
And gone unnoticed by the eye.

Sticks and stones
May break my bones,
But names will
Always hurt me.
