The Tale of Mr. Morton

Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton walks
Mister Morton talks
Mister Morton reads
Mister Morton loves
Mister Morton walked down the street
Mister Morton walked
And Mister Morton talked to his favorite cat
Mister Morton talked
(What's up cat?)
Mister Morton was lonely man
Mister Morton was
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton knew just one girl
Mister Morton knew
And Mister Morton grew flowers for Pearl
Mister Morton grew
And Mister Morton was very shy
Mister Morton was
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton walks
Mister Morton talks
Mister Morton reads
Mister Morton loves
The subject is a noun
That’s a person, place or thing
It’s who or what the sentence is about
And the predicate is the verb
That’s the action word
That gets the subject up and out
Mister Morton wrote Pearl a poem
(Say what?)
Mister Morton wrote
Pearl replied in the afternoon
(How she replied?)
She replied by note
Mister Morton was very nervous
Mister Morton was
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
The cat stretched
The sun beat down
A neighbor had chased his kid
And each sentence is completed but only when
You know exactly what the subject did
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton walks
Mister Morton talks
Mister Morton reads
Mister Morton loves
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
What the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton knocked on her door
Mister Morton knocked
And Mister Morton sat on her porch
Yeah, see he sat and rocked
Mister Morton was a nervous man
When she opened the door he ran
Mister Morton climbed up the stairs
Mister Morton climbed
Mister Morton was lonely man
Mister Morton was
Until Pearl showed up with a single rose
Who says women can’t propose?
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton walks
Mister Morton talks
Mister Morton reads
Mister Morton loves
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton is the subject my sentence
And what the predicate says, he does
Mister Morton walks
Mister Morton talks
Mister Morton reads
Mister Morton loves
