Munday on Monday: Lumber yard

The little baby two-by-four

Resided at the lumber store;

A chip that from “old block” was hewn —

A little shaver, not immune

To boredom babies often face,

Yes, even in a lumber place.

So cranky as all babies grow

(Which any parent ought to know)

And roused amid the lumber dust

The little two-by-four now fussed

With words that any mom abhorred;

The baby bellowed: “Ma, I’m board!”
