Shenanigans
"Now none of your shenanigans", mom used to say
When she sent me to school or just out to play
It had me stumped just be-cuz
I didn't know what a shenanigan wuz
But how could I or not do that shenanigan thing
Shenanigans were foreign to me as Chinas' Beijing
I tried to be a very good kid
Who would never do what my mom forbid
Years have gone by and I find myself saddled
With those warnings from mom, I'm shenanigan baffled
Not knowing it's meaning, did I do it or not
If I unknowingly did it, I hope mom's forgot
