TOO MANY BOYS

Too many boys, every Christmas, get too many toys!!!!!!
Josh and Ted, they sleep in the same bed.
Ted turns red.
Huby and Pat, they fight on the mat.
Don and Ray, they are O.K.
James and Jack, they got a whack!!!
They are all a pair,
So there .............

One’s a nut,
Josh got cut.
Are mother and father always hollering because .....
We all are???
But they miss,
The two little ones are nine and ten.
The middle ones are fourteen and fourteen.
They are clean.
Fifteen and sixteen, they are strong and long.
Twenty and twenty-two, they say go to bed.
One has a friend names Pete.
Ain’t that sweet?

I have a friend names Rich,
He’s an itch.
Now I have to take a bow.
