Goin' To the Store

Granny cut off our credit at the store. You were going to school So we thought you could do anything. We'll write a note, we decided, Joe can write. We devised a long list. Sam, who was four, said, "Don't forget to sign Bert's name." So you did, we thought... Off we marched wth our scribbled list. Mrs. Lamb, the storekeeper, never let on Adjusting her glasses, she read that list As if it were real writing. "Does this say three Coca Colas? My eyes aren't too good." Yes, we would answer, until our shopping was done. Of course, she told Granny Our sins always found us out!
