The Louds were outside on a bright, sunny day,

When they noticed new neighbours had moved in to stay.

"Hi there," said Rita, "I saw you move in.

I'm Rita Loud, this is my husband Lynn."

'I'm Bumper Yates, this is my wife Jancey."

They showed them their house, which was a little bit fancy.

Their kids all said, "Cool, there's new people to know.

We're Bumper Jr., Beatrix, Belle, and young Beau."

All four kids were skilled and made the Loud parents impressed.

The Yates parents said, "Keeping them well-rounded is best."

The Loud mom and dad said, "We never quite thought,

To make our kids well-rounded. We probably ought."

So they piled up their kids in the family van,

And said, "Try to do these things, we know that you can."

They took Lisa to a ceramics club and Lynn to a learning centre,

Neither of them really wanted to enter.

They took Luna to English class, but someone should mention.

That using hip slang is not ignorance, but intention.

That is by far not the end of the story,

They also prepped SAT's for Leni and Lori.

They took Luan to the mayor so she'd learn to be serious.

"What?!" thought Luan, "Mom and Dad are delirious!".

They took Lucy to basketball and told her, "Don't shirk!"

But Lucy did not like the idea of teamwork.

They took Lola to a soup kitchen, the Loud mom and dad,

But Lola just thought that her hairnet looked bad.

And finally, they took Lana to a fishing school,

And made Lincoln read comics he thought were uncool.

The Loud parents watched slapstick videos online,

Assured that their children would turn out just fine.

The next day, they said, "Well, since it's Saturday,

All of you children should go out and play."

But the Yateses were going out to volunteer.

Not to just be good citizens, mind you, but to steer,

Their children into being extra well-rounded.

Is that where all of their beliefs are founded?

Rita and Lynn Sr. said, "We think it's best for you,

If you went to the roadside and picked up trash too."

But the Loud children found it too boring and dirty,

And sulked as they all arrived home at three thirty.

The parents said, "We're going to the opera today,

We want you to be enriched like the Yateses, OK?".

The Loud kids would rather have had time to be silly,

And the opera put all of them to sleep except Lily.

They tried to raise money, but the neighbours were rude.

The kids said, "We're getting real bored of this dude!".

The news interrupted a show about cats,

For the Yateses had saved a turtle (though only for stats).

The Louds woke their kids up and said, "We think you,

Should all try out saving a turtle's life too."

A few days later, the Louds' skills all grew,

But unfortunately, they became serious too.

When they said, "No ice cream," the parents went, "Yikes!,

Each kid has forgotten what he or she likes!".

They told them, "Forget about being so formal.

We just want you lot to go back to normal.

There's plenty of time to think about what will come later,

But that doesn't mean you should be a fun-hater."

The Yateses saw their neighbours goofing around,

And said, "Is there a purpose to this that you've found?".

The Louds said, "Not really, we're just having fun,

'Cause unwinding's good for our daughters and son."

Bumper Sr. checked his schedule and happily found,

Seven free minutes for goofing around.

So both families had a spring in their step,

They were hopeful and happy and all full of pep.
