Little Angels
They have their snaggle teeth
And cow licks in their hair
And they scuff their little knees
And have trouble climbing stairs
They also get the cooties
(is that a name for lice)
And need shoelaces tended to
Wouldn’t velcro there suffice
What about runny noses
And germs everywhere
They’re kids with dirty tissues
And gum in their hair
And what about the naps
With each his little bed
Wouldn’t it be better
If the teacher napped instead
And then there is the crying
And all the acting out
Wouldn’t it be better
If they all just learned to pout
And what if in their lunch pails
The kids brought along a phone
So they could message mom
To come and take them home
