CLOTHES

Gelett Burgess

When you are playing in the dirt, You should wear clothes you cannot hurt; It will not matter, when they're worn, If they are just a little torn.

But when you're really nicely dressed, Be careful of your Sunday Best! You must not crawl upon your knees; Be careful of your elbows, please!
