(A line at a time. Rhyme every other line. Keep the story flowing. The first line is: )

One day a boy stood on a quiet hill

(so the second line shouldn`t rhyme with that, but the third line will, and so on. Four lines to a stanza. Remember to use your spell checkers and also, how punctuation and capitalization work!)

It was not special, still nice to be

And as he stood, his mind did fill

Jammed up with terror, wanting to flee.

(suggest abab cdcd efef... etc rhyme scheme - this might be exactly what you meant mog by 4 lines to a stanza, but as is, we''ll be rhyming with "il" and "be" forever...)

(New stanza, yeah.)

The thing, he thought, was creeping nearer.

he felt the presence of another

(yes, new rhymes each stanza are a good idea, abab, cdcd, efef, etc.)

one that to him was dearer

None other than Mog''s mother!

chirp, chirp, bark bark, scratch, scratch,... snap,

the trees and bees were humming softly

hiss hiss, meow meow, snort snort ... crack

Mom took him down across her knee

bent him over and gave him a smack

Now my dear that should teach you to be

Late for dinner, and gave another whack.
(got thrown off by the extended rhyming - would be best if new stanzas get new endings.)

He cried and sobbed most piteously.
