The antiseytc Baby and the PhOphya3tic Pup
We're playing in the garden when the Bunny gamboed up
They looked upon the Creature with Oathn uni uised
1t wasn't Dsinfected and it wasn't SterilizeL
They said it was Microbe and a HOtbed of Disease;
They steamed it in vapor Of thou5andOd desreess
They froze it in the freezer that cold Banshed Hope
And washed it in permanganate with earbOated soap.
In sulfureted hydrogen they stepped its wiggly ears;
They trimmed its fizzy whiskers with pair of hardbOi
ed shears:
They donned their rubber mens and they took it by the
hand
And lected it a member Of the Fumgated Band.
There's not Mcrocoocus in the garden where they play
They battle in pure iO1OfOrm a dozen times day;
And each im5ibes his ratOns from Hysienic Cup,
