He's not shown up on Radar

 

The sleeves upon the jacket

were simply way too long

His mother told the check-out girl

“They must have made it wrong.”

She bought it for a discount

you couldn’t see his hands

They had found it hanging with the boys

but I’m sure it was a Man’s,

Maybe a gorilla, with arms that reach to there

could grab and swing, from limb to limb

and the jacket wouldn’t care,

But as little Johnny walked to school

his cuffs upon the ground

His Mother simply smiled

at the bargain she had found.

As reported by the other kids

the wind kicked up that day

and carried little Johnny off

and took him far away,

“It’s like his arms were flapping.”

said a voice from in the crowd.

“I thought I heard him laughing.”

claimed another girl out loud.

Now to this day - nobody knows

if Johnny will be found,

it's all together possible

he never will come down.
