MY NEW BACKPACK by Russ McKay (aka sillygrandpa.com)

My parents bought me a new backpack for school
It’s pink and lilac and looks really cool
The first morning it was loaded with lunch, school supplies and stuff
And anything I’d need to be sure I had enough
I was ready to go as I stood at our door
My backpack so full it wouldn’t hold any more
Mommy put it on me and fastened the last strap
And when she stepped away I fell flat on my back
My brother came over to help me up on my feet
And as I turned around I knocked him right on his seat
Mommy helped me unload about half of the stuff
So that carrying the thing wouldn’t be quite so tough
I learned you’ve really got to be strong when you’re starting school
And I think it might help if you owned your own mule
