One Little, Two Little, Three Little Shits
A Dodoitsu
Junior loved football, he did
He practiced all day, that kid
He would run right into me
on purpose you see!
~
Pat needed a target yet
he would even use our pet
The ball would fly through the air
He would get the glare!
~
Steven was always teasing
he wasn’t ever pleasing
Giving the dog a big chop
Dog gave him a chomp!
~
Three boys, me, a pet, and dog
wrestling in mud like a hog
some say why, and I say bye
to the boys and I!
~
Everyone is going home
the boys first, that is for sure
they cry as they want to roam
parents have the cure!
~~
