Obstreperous Toddler!

BANG! BANG! BOOM!

It's seven in the morning And the toddler found a DRUM! And a pot! And a kazoo! And the dog is going numb!

Mama groans! Papa hides! The cat is in the sink! The toddler's playing CONCERT and she DOES NOT STOP TO THINK!

OBSTREPEROUS! Ob-STREP-er-us! That tiny human's BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE! OBSTREPEROUS! Ob-STREP-er-us! She's louder than ANY mouse!

BANG! CRASH! BOOM!

"BED TIME?" "NO!" "QUIET?" "NO!" "GENTLE?" "NEVER HEARD OF IT!" She bonks the wall, she yells the song, She marches every BIT of it!

The neighbors knocked. She knocked back HARDER. The mailman left. He used to like this block. She's not bad, she's just LOUD, And she WILL NOT TURN DOWN HER ROCK!

OBSTREPEROUS! Ob-STREP-er-us! That tiny human's BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE! OBSTREPEROUS! Ob-STREP-er-us! She's louder than ANY mouse!

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

OBSTREPEROUS! Sounds bumpy when you say it! That's because it's BUMPY when she Bangs her drum and PLAYS IT!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

(...nap time?)
