Child Excuses

Toothpaste stuck in the tube
Toothbrush stuck in the drain
Guess I can't brush my teeth
I'll just go play in the rain

Can't find my paper
Pencil is broke
Guess I can't do my essay
I'll just tell a joke

Pillow stuck under my bed
Sheets on the floor
Guess I can't go to bed
I'll just watch tv some more
