David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Using the 'Ol Bean

Mom's on the warpath,
"Get inside and take a bath"
(She says she wants us clean). 

"Then put on your PJs and go to bed."
I turned that logic on its head. 
(I'll tell you what I mean.)

Why should we wash up when
we'll just get dirty once again?
(That's using the 'ol bean!)

David Crandall April 2, 2026 at 9:03 PM haha, I was thinking the same thing too, the car will just get dirty again, the house will just get dirty again, etc., etc. It's nice to have a lazy excuse for everything - lol!
