Me

I like bubble gum.

I like bats.

I like baseballs

And cowboy hats.

I like mudcakes.

I like moles.

I like mountain bikes

And deep, dark holes.

I like tinker toys.

I like tag.

I like tadpoles

And greasy, dirty rags.

I like football.

I like fightin’.

I like fishin’,

Especially when they’re bitin’.

I like snakes.

And I like my pet squirrel.

But it’s me I like the best

Cuz I am a girl!
