Scout (from to kill a mockingbird)
I'm just a kid who's six
My aunt tells me to watch my lips
I don't like dresses or playing with dolls
Or doing my hair and trying on styles
I like doing my hair and playing with bugs
Roly-polys, ants, spiders, and slugs!
My brother Jem is growing quite soft
Wouldnt let me kill a roly-poly what's next, a moth?
I love my dad he's a respectable man
He does so much, or at least all that he can
Adults talk of things and I dont know what its about
But don't worry by the end of the book i'd have figured it out
