Fred Outsmarted His Mother!!
“Go clean your room,” Mother said
But little Fred just shook his head
Clean his room? He’d rather not
How about video games, he thought
“Go clean your room now Fred!
Or you’ll not have dinner before you go to bed!”
He thought about this quite a lot
Maybe he could sneak dinner later he wouldn’t get caught
So he said sure, he would go unfed
But Mother’s face just got quite red
“You clean your room! You shouldn’t have fought!
No you’ll go without supper whether you clean up or not!”
Well Fred thought about this in his head…
“Well then good-night Mother, I guess this means I’m off to bed!”
