Maycomb City
Maycomb city is a quiet place
Where everyone knows each others face
The young are innocent the old are not
About how Tom Robbinson got caught
Atticus will try and save Toms life
His words will cut just like a knife
The blacks think he will win with faithfulness
But its kinda a lost cause because of racistness
The town hates Tom because hes black
They really need to look at the facts
Tom is innocent and Atticus can prove that
Because he is sly just like a cat
Tom is accused of rapeing Mayella
But really Tom is quite a good Fella
Tom wouldn't dare rape this poor girl
Because he knew he would die for sure
When the courd day came everyone was silent
Atticus deffended Tom with great valiant
He told the truth and he knew he was right
Everyone knows he should have won the fight
The jury was racist and found him guilty
People that think thats okay are dirty, rotten, and filthy
The morale of this story is to stay clean and true
If we can do this we can be an Atticus too
