Flame Boy

I was reading some Edward Lear earlier and thought I'd give this whole limerick malarky a shot.................so.............

Flame Boy

There once was a boy named James
Who's face was engulfed in flames.
Doctors knew not the cause for
this most fatal of flaws.
what a terrible shame for poor James.

Well he grew so terribly tired of fire
when the consequences were downright dire
so he went out in the rain, to end all his pain
and extinguish the long burning fire.

- But what did he see beneath all his hair?
He was ugly it just wasn't fair.
So drop a tear and sigh a prayer
for Flame Boy's long forgotten flare.
