I learned my lesson, that's for sure.
He plucked that mushroom off the ground
then plopped it in his mouth.
And that’s when things went really bad.
Yeah, that’s when things went south.

Some mushrooms are not fit to eat.
You have to pick and choose.
You might select an okay one,
but choose the wrong? you loose.

You have to know the good from bad.
Don’t eat the wrong mushroom.
‘Cause there are mushrooms that they say
you never should consume.

Well, I can make this story short.
It ended pretty fast.
He grabbed his belly and fell down.
That mushroom was his last.

I learned my lesson, that’s for sure.
Yeah, I’ll just let them be.
While you may try them if you wish,
they’re really not for me.

Oh, look, I see one over there.
I think that one’s okay.
One little nibble couldn’t hurt
…wait, what did you just say?

Uh oh.
