Science Teachers Fault

Ed the science teacher encouraged us To see what floats, the brilliant little cuss We learned right away that Chet's Mom, she does not play We ruined her dry-cleanable new velvet suit. And both of her shoes, and her hat to boot. But, Ma, it is a science assignment Chet said. She was so angry, she whooped him and sent him to bed. So I went home and experimented with stuff in the kitchen. Pop Tarts, crackers, flour, sugar. Now my mama is ’n. Lots of things don’t float Mr. Ed. Maybe you are daft in your head.

I just know it was the "Science Teachers Fault." Blame it on him. That is better than on the dog. Poor dog always gets the blame. Have a blessed weekend...............

my dogs never get blamed; they have us both wrapped around their paws.
