Skipping School To Play Baseball

Skipping school to play baseball, spending up all I got at the Mall; having fun and laugh with girls who love Coca Cola and burgers. It's a day of fun for kids dripping with sweat, if I'm lucky to hit a home run, I will freak; Mario runs for first base, he doesn't make it: we lose the game, our team was way too weak. Now it's time for ice cream, we head for Carvel, I spend all my saved money to pay for the bill; I hope mom doesn't see the broken piggy jar: she'll ground me, no playing on the monkey bar. A red car pulls up the curb, it's ugly and clanky; " Who's that lady with the straw hat? It's mom! " " Come here, little brat; you're grounded,Tom!" I just turn pale and say sorry for playing hooky.
