Little Girls' Savings

*Ring-a-ling-ling*
The ice cream truck
drives through streets,
and little girls perk.

They slowly look over
at their bright pink piggies,
and question how hard
they'd have to hit it.

It's such a hot, sweltering
summer day,
with the thought of cool
ice cream tempting them.

But they've been saving
those nickels and dimes.
Saving them for oh so long.
*Ring-a-ling-ling*

One little girl goes downstairs
to grab her father's hammer,
but before she pops the piggy
her mother catches her hand.

While the *ring-a-ling* fades away,
she'll be glad in the morning,
when she still has her piggy,
filled with nickels and dimes.

What a shame that their mommies,
can't follow them to college.
