Three thick-skulled thoughtless thirsty brothers needed something to quench their thirst.
The threesome did the unthinkable
resorting to thievery
not thinking thrice
if this was really the thriftiest thing to do.
Therefore, without putting on their thinking caps,
they threw some clothes on themselves.
Then they traipsed together to the store
to get something to soothe their withered throats.

When they got there, did they get the thrill of their lives!
Their mother and father saw them thwarting their plan.
Their mother said,
You thankless thickheaded third-rate thugs!
We ought to give all of you the thumb
and throw you out of the house.
Then their father threw in his two cents worth.
Ive stuck with you through thick and thin!
But now Im throwing in the towel,
you through and through three-ring circus nitwits.

a thorough thrashing,

on their heads thirteen times.
