Young Word Players

We liked word play since very young
My younger brother Mike and I
First letters of names we would switch
And then we would laugh till we cried

Ben Telly became Ten Belly
That one, for sure, caused an uproar
Once started it was hard to stop
It was fun, when we opened the door

Look over there is Jack Bammer!
Of course that made the laughs double
Then Bucky Fairbanks came over
And that's when we got in trouble!
