Mommy's Helper - RubADubDub

Rub-a-Dub-Dub,
I sat on a rug,
Looking my kids in the eye,
They threw their toys
Those girls and boys,
and made me almost cry.

Rub-a-Dub-Dub,
I gave them a tug,
Down to their rooms they went,
They shrieked and bawled,
One and all,
and I went to the Net to vent.

Rub-a-Dub-Dub,
four kids in a tub,
But I actually only have two.
"Just a minute" I yelp,
"Hey, Mama!" they belt.
My gosh, if you only knew!
