Brother's First Grade Poem for Christmas Program

[Dee Gee]

    I'M A LITTLE TERROR

I'm little terror, so folks say,
Though I can't imagine why;
Aunt Lucille says I need chastised,
And she views me with a sigh,
Grandma says that I'm full of pranks,
Ma says I've got to mend my ways,
Even pa -  and he's a real good sport,
Doesn't say much in my praise,
At school although I study my lesson,
Mrs. McCoskey seems to feel the same,
When there's any mischief brewing,
She always thinks I'm to blame,
But say when Christmas time draws near,
I'm good as any boy can be,
I behave so properly that even Santa
Can't find a better boy than me.
