Info about this artist is pointed to by my comment in another blog entry.
/// He’s been threatened by “sweet” little Carol:
Serenade– or she’ll steal his apparel.
She is strong and she’s crude,
so she would strip him nude.
She has got that boy over a barrel.
/// This petite girl who wears frilly frocks
is a tomboy who knows how to box.
He was ordered to play
or his clothes go the way
of his thrown-in-the-creek shoes and socks.
/// If these two had been several years older,
his response to her threat would be bolder.
“I must play or you’ll strip
off my clothes? Let ‘er rip!”
But at this age, he’ll cower, not smolder.
