That well-trained tots will not disturb
The street is axiomatic;
But MUST their ball roll off the kerb
When father’s in the attic?

OR this version:
Beset by adJective and verb,
The kiddies, wiser, sadder,
Avoid the street, and won’t disturb
The cars. What makes one madder:
MUST their ball roll off the kerb
When daddy’s on the ladder??
