I might start to lose you after the first couple of lines but hang in there. There really is a lesson to be learned. Stash
Listen To Your Mother
On Christmas morning, Jeffrey got a brand new sled.
He used it once and now he’s dead.
“Santa, I don’t want no truck or sweater.”
That’s what Jeffrey wrote in his letter.
What he wanted was a sled… a lot.
And that’s exactly what Jeffrey got.
He found it wrapped on Christmas morning.
“Use it with care.” was his mother’s warning.
But little children never seem to hear.
They live a life that is devoid of fear.
So Jeffrey set out to find a hill
That would provide, for him, a suitable thrill.
He found it near a busy highway.
“I’ve got a sled, now I’ll ride it my way.”
The hill was iced and mountain high.
“Geronomo!” was Jeff’s last cry.
His day ended with a bit of bad luck…
Jeffrey slid under a ce-ment truck.
He got the present for which he wished.
But in the end, Jeff got squished.
Remember Kiddies:
If you please, tease your sister and brother…
But always listen to your dear mother.
She knows best.
