R: If you remember put some flowers on his grave He was my little friend for all the comfort that he gave He never called me Dummy he was always on my side I was so very sorry when he died 1. His operation made him smart He ran the maze so good But always had some time to be my friend We used to race and he would win It always made me mad at him But he would still be nice even then 2. And when my operation made me smarter he was there To show me what would happen next to me It wasn't always in a book I had to hurt and sometimes look At sad things that I didn't want to see 3. And now the smartness goes away And Algernon is dead And all my friends are nice to me again But when I am like Algernon Asleep inside the dirt and gone I wonder who will think about me then
