The Foot Rub

Mom can I have a quarter

If I rub your tired feet?

I'll squeeze your little piggies

And put you right to sleep.

So I tell her get my purse

and amongst the piddles and grime

I fetch for her a quarter,

One nickle and 2 dimes.

She sits up on her little stool

And roughly grabs a toe.

Squeezing almost mercilessly,

I yell to her, "Wait, NO!"

"Your mamma's feet are old and rough,

and while you are so very eager,

I wish that you would let up some

And make your squeezings meager!"

Here, I'll donate a few more cents for another five minutes. :)
Good chuckle.
