Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

The Naughty -To Do- List

Oh to be a kid again…



To triple dip my salsa chip 
                  when no-one else is looking
To toss hot peppers in the sauce
                  when I might find it cooking

To let my finger linger 
              in the frosting bowl on Sunday
To fake a belly ache
          so I can’t go to school on Monday
 
To have fun with a nun
                         by tying TP to her habit
To take the last big slice of steak
                           distracting as I grab it

To dope the sugar bowl with soap
                    with powder, it’s no trouble
To act surprised at mama’s eyes
                  when coffee starts to bubble
