The Scamella Gambit

______________________________________________________________________________________

  A child named Ella
  Had equestrian dreams.

  Her mother Scamella
  Had nothing but schemes.

  One day...
  Mother did say:

  Ella, go out and play
  In Johnny Richboy's yard
  And play real hard.

  
  Climb up in his tree
  Fall down and 

"break your knee."

  Just pretending, you little cad
  But don't make it look phony.
  Then I can sue his dad.
  And buy you a pony.
