Johnny started school today
and came home all in pieces.
What’s a mother to do?
Listen to me. Hold my hand. Look
both ways. Mind your P’s and Q’s.
Never talk to strangers. Tuck
in your shirt. Avoid troublemakers.
Respect your elders. Eat your peas.
And you’ll grow to be strong and sure.
Johnny went to school today.
Rat-a-tat-tat rat-a-tat-tat
rounds and rounds of ammunition
ring around the rifle we all fall down.
and he came home all in pieces.
What’s a mother to do?
