PUT THAT BACK “LIL” SAMMY
PUT THAT BACK, “LIL” SAMMY!
YOU HEARD WHAT BIG MAMA SAID.
IF WE GET INTO THAT COOKIE JAR,
SHE’S GONNA’ SEND US RIGHT TO BED!
I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKIN’
BUT I SURE AIN’T SLEEPY JUST YET!
NOW, YOU GET ON DOWN FROM THERE,
BEFORE YOU BREAK YOUR “LIL” NECK!
I’VE BEEN WATCHIN’ YOU, “LIL” SAMMY,
BEEN LOOKIN’ AT YOU REALLY HARD.
I SEE YOU JUST A-STANDIN’ THERE,
STARING AND NOT EVEN SAYIN’ A WORD!
I’LL BE THE ONE IN DEEP, DEEP TROUBLE,
BECAUSE I’M THE OLDEST ONE, YOU SEE.
STOP MUNCHIN’ ON THAT COOKIE, BOY,
AND LISTEN RIGHT NOW, I SAY, TO ME!
SAMMY, THERE’S SOMETHING I SHOULD TELL YOU.
YES, THERE’S SOMETHIN’ YOU SHOULD KNOW.
BIG MAMA MADE THOSE SPICED COOKIE BARS,
‘CAUSE YOU’LL EAT THEM AND I WON’T!
YOU SEE; I HAVE NEVER, EVER LIKED THEM,
SO YOUR AIRTIGHT COVER IS BLOWN!
GO AHEAD…EAT UP, “LIL” SAMMY,
YOU ARE NOW ON YOUR VERY OWN!
DRESS UP

WITH THREE GOOD FRIENDS OF MINE.
THEY ARE JUANITA, LINDA, AND SHEILA.
WE GIRLS DO THIS ALL OF THE TIME.
MAMA HAS AN OLD STEAMER TRUNK,
WHICH IS FULL OF VER

About the Book

Remember your 1st day at school or your 1st haircut? What about sharing a bedroom with a sister or brother? This book touches on so many memories that make us the happy and joyous people we are today! This isn’t just a “fly” through book… It’s a keeper! Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!
