Shall We Go To the Mall

i wanna know if ya’ll want to go to the mall?
not me said Paul. I am fixing this old horse stall.
yes, said Miss Kirkendall. I need a fashion doll.
could we please buy aunt Booboo a Christmas shawl?

weirdo Kirkendall must have been born with a caul.
because I had been thinking precisely this in the hall.
we had better hurry I said, it looks like a squall.
a Kansas storm that was coming up wide and tall.

junior jumped off of the south wall.
ran for the car as he picked up his ball.
we’d best get on the road, it’s time to haul
do I have time to make a fast call?

the ford took off with gumption and gall.
when Bessie is in a hurry, she does not crawl.
i headed straight away to the giant mall.
we had a fine time, each one of us, all!
