Brown Paper and a Spoon

The greatest toy that ever was
Brown paper and a spoon
On the floor lurking in
The messy living room

It takes no AA batteries

It has no on-off switch

It's endless fun and scratches

The ever playful itch


For minutes or an hour

Playing hide and seek
Wiggle butt and flying claws

What furry lightning streak



Hunts the kitchen ware

Like brave dragon slayers

Underneath and in between

The crinkled paper layers


Until the deadly pounce

At long last is made

Sent to meet it's maker

Long handle Rubbermaid



Victory now it's time to rest

The hunt is at an end
But woe to serving spoons
That pass this way again
