The Farm by Lyndon Perry
“Ol’ Mickey Donald had a farm, A-E-I-O-U…”
“Would you get it right?” Sissy’s brother yelled from down the hall. “It’s Old MacDonald – E-I-E-I-O.”
“Ronald McDonald had a farm…”
“Now you’re just being silly,” Brother said as he pushed open the door to his sister’s room. He looked at the farm animals grazing in the middle of her bed. “What are you doing?”
“Playing Old MacDonald,” Sissy replied. She moved the cows toward the edge of the covers. “They’re stuck on a mountain and can’t find their way down to the farm.”
Brother just stared at his sister and shook his head.
“Have to use your 'magination,” she said. “See, this cow is about to fall off a cliff.” She pushed the cow over the edge. Eeee.
“You’re nuts,” Brother said. As he turned to leave he muttered, “Sheesh. Old MacDonald…”
But instead of walking back out the door, he stepped off the side of a mountain.
“Eeee iiii…” Brother yelled as he fell.
“Would you get it right?” Sissy yelled from up above. “It’s E-I-E-I-O!”

Keep it clean and positive. (And sorry about the word verification, but the spmb*ts are out in full force!)
