Silly Mess
Mom says I’m a silly mess,
Such a hassle to get dressed.
Leave one sock on the floor,
My belt is hanging from the door.
Can’t put shoes on right now,
My pants are nearly falling down.
I got cereal all down my shirt,
Mom says she’ll be late for work.
I kiss her face with milk on mine,
Yet, we always make it out on time.
Such a hassle to get dressed.
Leave one sock on the floor,
My belt is hanging from the door.
Can’t put shoes on right now,
My pants are nearly falling down.
I got cereal all down my shirt,
Mom says she’ll be late for work.
I kiss her face with milk on mine,
Yet, we always make it out on time.
