Chivata

Chivata

You ought to be ashamed.
Always jumping about or romping around.
Just look at your skinned knee now,
the kids in your grade rehearsing,
and the evening show is right upon us...
—What will the teacher say!
We'll cover it with a dab of makeup
to hide the mischief done somewhere else
but the photograph, once it's developed,
is bound to show the landing plain as day.
