God gave us fingers- Ma says, " Use your fork."
God gave us voices- Ma says, "Don't scream."
Ma says eat broccoli, cereal and carrots.
But God gave us tasteys for maple ice cream.
God gave us fingers- Ma says, "Use your hanky."
God gave us puddles- Ma says,"Don't splash."
Ma says," Be quite, your father is sleeping."
But God gave us garbage can covers to crash.
God gave us fingers- Ma says, " Put your gloves on."
God gave us raindrops- Ma says, " Don't get wet."
Ma says be careful, and don't get too near to
Those strange dogs that God gave us to pet.
God gave is fingers- Ma says, " Go wash 'em."
But God gave us coal bins and nice dirty bodies.
And I ain't too smart, but there's one thing for certain-
Either Ma's wrong or else God is.

SO thankful for my sweet, dirty noisy, wonderful children!
