Hi LM_NETers,
 
  We are trying to identify the author of the following poem.  Does it sound even 
remotely familiar to you?  Is there a service out there that can track it down?  We 
are very interested in finding the source.  
 
 
"Charlie the brat he got this and that
His request was never denied.
If he wanted a ball, or a tree house so tall, 
He would get it with only a cry.
 
Every new day something new to play,
He would get lessons for every sport,
On the baseball field a bat he would wield 
And even on the hockey court
 
Charlie had all these things he lived like a king and his stuff he did flaunt
When his father came over in his fancy Range Rover,
He would give Charlie anything he could want.
 
His mother however was far more clever,
And saw what her son had become,
Acted like a bum respected no one,
She was applled that this was her son."
 
(That was the first half, I'll skip to the end...)
 
"He was sent to Zimbabwe to rectify his life.
He would be treated the way he deserved
One day he will recover his life will be discovered
Justice here had been served.
 
Pity, some say, he could have changed,
Instead of neing sent away.
But it is for the best, they all agree,
MAYBE he will visit Zimbabwe."
 
TIA!
