  Hamstead Ditty Just South of the Mason Dixon Line  
    by Shobooboo   July 2002  
  Here's a Hamstead Ditty
  Dedicated to your fair city
  Thanks for putting up with me
  Kids on my shoulders what glee
   
  I am a Lincoln yank from Oak Park
  Visiting North Maryland - change quite stark.
  Folks never saw my Tai Chi golf style
  One leg, one arm, hit the ball a mile.
   
  For games they lock keys in trunks and leave
  Wait for red threes to pop up your sleeve.
  Kids hide the valuables of a guest
  Anything that moves they can't digest.
   
  Cures for rash baby rumps that leaks
  Spread yogart on the boys both cheeks.
  For wasp stings work in utmost haste
  On swollen skin parts colored toothpaste.
   
  Babies the rage among the ancient ones
  One toddering wife pinched hubby's buns.
  Thumbs up I said "Its not to late"
  Viagra tonight to hurry his gate.
   
  Trip to Delaware total spontaneity
  Saw the Dolphins play with gaiety.
  Yet the surroundings not at home
  Wish them free so they could roam.
   
  But both here and there common ground
  Celebrating birthdays a delightful sound.
  Children climb on you like a tree
  Correct my songs, stories with glee.
