The Irish Lass--She's goin' keep God and Ma BUSY!God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Use your fork."
God gave us voices---Ma says, " Don't scream."
Ma says eat broccoli, cereal and carrots.
But God gave us tasteys for maple ice cream.
God gave us fingers---Ma says, "Use your hanky."
God gave us puddles---Ma says, "Don't splash."
Ma says, "Be quiet, your father is sleeping."
But God gave us garbage can covers to crash.
God gave us fingers---Ma says, " Put your gloves on."
God gave us raindrops---Ma says, "don't get wet."
Ma says be careful, and don't get too near to
Those strange lovely dogs that God gave us to pet.
God gave us fingers---Ma says, "go wash 'em."
But God gave us coal bins and nice dirty bodies.
And I ain't too smart, but there's one thing for certain---
Either Ma's wrong or else God is.
Shel Silverstein from Where the Sidewalk Ends
