She Was the Best We Had

She was the best we had the best of us. The best of the clan, and she was rotten. We were all rotten learned rottenness learned from the best from our mama She could out-cuss us, out run us and outwit us. We were her boys, and we were the best we could be. The best of the best The Thompson trio People crossed the street when they saw us coming We were a force to be avoided us brothers three. By the time we were in double digits, people from other towns were coming to our town to fight us. They had heard how tough we were. They did not know about our mama. They would get to Mama first. They would be nice and polite too. "Could you please tell us where your boys are, ma'am?" Mama wasn't fooled. She would take them on first, give them a licking they wouldn't forget. Some went home after that. Others were even more determined to find us. One thing for sure, Mama always taught them a lesson before they got to us. If you think those boys are tough, wait 'til you meet their mama! Mama was the best we had. She was the best of us.
