Tugging and Pulling
A boy couldn't get his boots on
At the end of the preschool day
The teachers tugging and pulling,
Was hard, but she got them to stay
The boy then said, "These aren't my boots!"
With a frown she held back a scoff
Then again tugging and pulling
She managed to get them back off
The boy said, "Mommy said wear them,"
"They belong to my brother Ben"
Shaking her head with a grimace
She tugged and pulled them on again!
She felt a little like screaming
But she managed a smile instead
She asked, "Where are your mittens then?"
"I put them in my boots!", he said!
