Little Cuts and Band-Aids

miss_literal's picture

When Little Girl
got a paper-cut
at school, her
mother gave her a
Band-Aid
and it healed the
little cut.

When Little Boy
fell off his bicycle
on the sidewalk, his
mother gave him a
Band-Aid
and it healed the
little cut.

When Little Girl
stepped on broken
glass, her
mother gave her a
Band-Aid
and it healed the
little cut.

When Little Boy
slipped on the ice and
his hand bled, his
mother gave him a
Band-Aid
and it healed the
little cut.

When Little Girl
and Little Boy
lost their Daddy, their
mother couldn't find the
Band-Aids,
but it didn't matter
anyway because
their cuts were
too deep to heal.

Ahoy, Matey, I'm in a hyper mood!
When my mom wakes up from her four-hour nap I'm going to ask her for sheet music for my birthday. I found it online, "Goodnight My Angel" by Billy Joel for $3.95 at Sheetmusicplus.com.
YIPPEE!
