Little Britches Rides Again

MAMA SAYS soon I can get a little puppy.
As soon as she sees how I treat my Guppy.

DADDY SAYS I don't need my Blanky.
And if I don't listen I'll get a SPANKY.

SISTER SAYS Little Boys don't cry
And my nose will grow- if I tell a lie.

AUNTIE SAYS that I'm big for my age
I can read picture books, every page.

UNCLE SAYS if I'm good- it'll make his day
If I'm quiet and stay out of the way.

GRAMMY SAYS I've got a mind like a trap.
Every time I ask questions and I'm supposed
to nap.

GRAMPY SAYS I'm too big for my britches
And I better stay in school or I'll be
digging ditches.

I SAY I'm the youngest kid-so that makes me
the baby
I'll be good as gold. Do what I'm told- maybe!
