NAUGHTY CHILD

Although Mom had told me no
To my friends house I did go
She told me to wait for Dad
All that did was make me mad

For that long I couldn't sit
So I pitched a big hissy fit
Called my mom a real bad name
Said my sister was the same

Mom got quiet; her face red
I ran to hide under the bed
She beat me on my little tush
With a switch cut from a bush

My bottom's sore, I can't sit down
She then picks up that bar of brown
Washes out my mouth with soap
I'll not say that again... I hope
