Out of the Mouths of Babes.
Mom took me to the Mall
to buy cloths for the school
but i was rather silly,
in fact i was a fool.
Instead of holding on
to mommies outstretched hand.
I kept letting it go
and in trouble i did land.
Before the escalator
i gave a stifled yawn
and in a millisecond
my mommy she was gone.
The crowd enveloped me,
then without a doubt.
I found myself alone
and gave a cry and shout.
With all the noise i made
the staff soon knew my plight,
and i was taken up
to an office out of sight.
Where i was asked my name
and then i said my age,
told they would find my mom
with just a simple page.
So i was reassured,
"don"t worry little Mike,
but we have to ask
what"s your mommy like?"
"Big cocks and whisky sours"
our little Mike replied.
The staff all burst out laughing
the Manager, he just sighed.
