Two little rascals

 

Which of the two

knocked over the paper bin?

Was it Freckles

and did his brother help him?

 

Paper balls scattered all over the floor

and Spotty is sleeping on top.

Their boss will have to wait a while

before he can clean the rubbish up.

 

After that, he shall try

to tell the doggies why

it was naughty what they did.

“Freckle an Spot,” he’ll say.

 

I know you like to play,

that’s what doggies do.

But from now you’d better watch out.

That’s all I ask from you.”

 

Which of the two, do you think

has it done?

Freckles has this guilty snout.
