Dang Ole Peas

Mum says I got
To eat these
Danged ole peas
No matter how I beg
And say please
I still got to eat 
Dem danged ole peas

So I shoves
Some on the floor
Flipped a few
Out the door
Gave a bunch
To the dog
Crammed a wad
In my pocket
Then dumped the rest
In sisters bowl

I'm looking slyly at
My clean plate
Mum smiles and says
Your the fastest pea eater
I've ever seen
I can see you like
Peas so much
Let me scoop you
Another bunch

So all I can say
Jeeze O please
No more of them
Danged ole peas
