THE GIRLS

by DAISY PEARL 

THE THINGS A GIRL NEEDS

TO CHEW A BUBBLE AND TO READ
AND TO PLANT THE SEED
TO HELP MOTHER
TO MAKE SMILE OF EVERYONE
AND TO FINISH WORK AND SAY IT'S DONE
SOME PEOPLE THINK THERE IS NOTHING TO DO FOR GIRLS
THAT'S WRONG
THE WORK OF GIRLS IS LONG
THE GIRLS ARE LIKE PEARLS
B/C THEY ARE LIKE A BIRD
THEY MAKE NEST FOR FAMILY AND THE REST
THAT'S WHY
