We Had This Great Idea
We had a great idea, my brother and I.
It would have worked except for sister Di.
She had to get in on the action you see.
Which caused us all sorts of trouble, us three.
We had this idea to stand on some stools.
Mom was gone, I was in charge of the rules.
A video we were making, which would have worked
Except Di went too far, and quickly jerked.
When her pot fell with a slap and a bash
Junior threw his to make a bigger crash.
Not to be the only one left out,
I threw my pot, and began to shout.
For Mom had arrived and was not so happy.
She made us clean it all up, we felt pretty sappy.
Years later we all look at the video tape and laugh.
But on that day I would have rather been a giraffe.
