CHORES

** Image ID #799591 Unavailable **

My mama put me in the sink
And told me that when I grew up,
That I could help with the chores
By washing every dish and cup.

Now I am just a tiny lass,
I'll have to think about it some;
I'm not looking forward to this
But my bath is kind of fun!

The water's warm and squishy,
But still I have my doubt
That having to help with dishes
Is what a baby should be about.

I think I should be loved a lot,
And pampered for awhile;
I think Mama was only joking
Because I can see her smile!
