IF YOU GIVE A MOOSE A MUFFIN

If I gave a moose a muffin
he would want to play all day long.
Demanding muffins and jam
sweaters, paper, and thread.

But oh the mess he would make
the glue, paints, needle and thread,
By the end of the day
I was wishing to be dead!

It is hard work playing with a moose
I was so tired by the end of the day.
It almost reminds me of little ones,
mothers should get extra pay!

It was strange
how the moose was so greedy,
it was hard to handle
but I managed as best I could.

In the end
the moose just wants a friend
Like all of us
needing to depend.

He did offer to clean my sheet
the best a moose could do
As much work that it was,
his manners were a bit neat.

And so if you give a moose a muffin
It's not so bad
Playing with no regrets,
as long as you clean up a tad.

If you didn't want to give a moose a muffin,
you could always give a mouse a cookie! =)
