A rather rare concoction of random sounds thrown together

When we get bored at home and look outside, Mom says hmph You dare not tried.

When I play football in the dining room clink is the sound; that brings mom out with a broom.

When I step on poochie’s tail just by mistake grrr growls the poochie back looking poisonous like a snake.

When I watch a kissing scene with mom and dad I giggle very hard so as to not look a chad.

When the neighbor catches me schlurpppp my milkshake I use my eyes and neck to act like a drake.

When I hear my sister murmur on a call, in a closed room I already imagine her as a bride standing beside her bridegroom.

When I see my dad going Mmmmm and my mom going sooo I know what happens next but I pretend I don't know.

When a roach flies with a whoosh mom runs with a zing and I see my dad go ka-chingggg!!!!

When the cow says moo and the pigs say yoikes! I know I have to run I have no choice.

Now don't just say hmm Be free and give a guffaw Just laugh as hard as you can and SPLAT the table with your claw.
