Short nursery rhyme about the daily troubles of poor Old Tom.
Old Tom was having no fun.
Everywhere he went there were errands to run.
Early in the morning he took out the trash,
mowed the lawn as his kids made a splash,
went to the market and, for dinner, bought fish,
if only he had a genie to whom he could make a wish!
Evening came, and he polished the teacups,
sadly not for tea, but the kid's ketchup.
