El Destructo
There’s a rumor going ’round
‘Bout a new bad guy in town.
They call him El Destructo.
‘Cause he wrecks what we construct-o.
First he broke our tower.
And threw it in the shower.
And sissy’s poor ol’ doll…
She took a nasty fall.
…bit the head off my dinosaur.
…broke my favorite marble jar.
…took a whiz in the flower pot.
…he leaves a trail of green snot.
He’s always itchin’ to pick a fight,
Loves to hit and scratch and bite.
He gave the dog a bad haircut.
Now she’s just an ol’ bare mutt.
And that is why they’ve hired me.
To end this senseless wrecking spree.
So I am on this mission
To end the demolition.
And I’ve set this laundry trap.
So when he comes by…SNAP!
Unless I get caught by mother,
‘Cause El Destructo’s my kid brother.

I finally voted! Yippee! And I love this one, especially since the “kid brother” applies to our home.
