Just kids fighting

Just kidding around

 

 

“Get off me,” said the kid below.

But the kid on top wouldn’t listen.

“Get of me or I’ll tell me Mum!”

But the kid on top wouldn’t listen.

“Get of me or I’ll tell me dad.”

But the kid on top still wouldn’t listen.

 

Then the kid on top suddenly became the kid below.

“Get of me,” said the kid below.

But the kid on top wouldn’t listen.

 

And when the fight was over they both went home,

and neither of them for one moment contemplated ‘telling.’

They were just kids after all, and they were just ‘mucking around.’
