The Terrible Threes

The Terrible Threes The terrible threes Are here at last The terrible threes I wish were past. The terrible threes They scrape their knees The terrible threes They snot, they sneeze. The terrible threes Are worse than twos The terrible threes They go "boo-hoo." The terrible threes Are terrible, incorrigible The terrible threes They're just plain horrible. The terrible threes Know how to climb trees The terrible threes Know how to say, "Please."

how about the furious four or the frantic five....the screaming sixes and sarcastic sevens will solidify how we strive....that's when the eventful eight and notorious nine will test you from the very point where you begin....because they become our tens, the types that others can call friends....great write Jennifer....;)
