The Cool Twins
One windy winter morning we refused to wear our hats.
We left the house, both bootless, like a pair of braindead brats.
While slogging through the slush we whined, “Our feet are freezing cold!”
We should have worn our gloves and thermal socks as we were told!”
“Boys, bundle up!” mom warned, but we said, “Man, it just ain’t cool!”
You bet we both regret it now ~ we’re half a mile from school!
We cried, “We’re not your babies, mom. Tomorrow we’ll be ten.”
Then sauntered out with coats unzipped ~ but mom was right again.
We’re sorry now for sassing her and causing such a fuss.
We’ll bundle up tomorrow (we’re too cool to ride the bus).
