Twits Terrible Nitwits

past knoxville and idaho city there are a pair of adorable nitwits. townspeople refer to them as kooky oddballs, a couple of twits. their name is easy to learn. she is backward ditz; he is fritz. brown eyes are lop-sided, their glances can be the pits. watch out! cautions their neighbor, they will bore you to bits. they showed up one day unexpectedly during a neighboring blitz. I heard they were parisians, but another told me they are brits. fritz can do a weird almost-hand-stand, and ditz does the splits. twits do not put on airs; neither abides by the ritz or any glitz. they eat bland foods like porridge, oatmeal, and plain grits. calico cats come to them all the time, presenting them with kits. their fighting is so common, their eyes are swollen to slits. fritz likes to knit, so their house is full of junk that he knits. afghans, scarves, hats, potholders, and unusable oven mitts. ditz does not wash her hair, so it is full of lice, bugs and nits. also have zits, and they have performed some really weird skits.

I think you covered the waterfront of 'family-friendly' rhymes here Caren, except for Sits Wits, a real Ditz! ~ Pockmarks and Zits

I cannot fathom not using zits; I may have to add a line
