In a very bad wood,

There was a very bad house.

And in that very bad house,

There was a very bad room.

There was a very bad cupboard.

And in that very bad cupboard,

There was a very bad shelf.

And on that very bad shelf,

There was a very bad box.

And in that very bad box,

There was a VERY BAD BOOK...
