Activity Time Out

One fine, hot, summer day My brother Scotty and I, were held back, from play Angered mother She sent us, to our room, bothered In our opinions It wasn’t the best decision Immaturely actively singing a song, that was seemingly, very, very wrong In captivity we, devised an escape plan To sneak out man! I mapped a simple route To the front door, where we’ll scoot Easy going down, the wooden stairs Forgetting what was really fair Together we sneakily, started down Towards the frustrated, warden zone Remember the third step, is a little creaky Now, without regret, sneaky Quiet Softly We Crept Mom was cleaning the floors Tip toe towards, the front screen door All clear of sisters (In a whisper) Easy, does it, Scotty!
