AS A KID

 

Drip, drip, drip,

As a kid, rain always looked enticing to sip.

Moo, Moo, Moo,

As a kid, having cows lick your hand was the thing to do.

Ruff, Ruff, Ruff,

As a kid, you didn’t need anything else since a dog was enough.

Swish, Swish, Swish,

As a kid, the sound of your body in a bathtub acting like a fish.

Gulp, Gulp, Gulp,

As a kid, orange juice was the only thing people beat to a pulp.

Wee-woo, Wee-woo, Wee-woo,

As a kid, acting like an officer and respecting the law was something we do.

Liar, Liar, Liar,

As a kid, this was what you told someone with their pants on fire.

Mom, Mom, Mom,

As a kid, this was the only thing you knew was the bomb.

Dad, Dad, Dad,

As a kid, he always showed you that things weren’t that bad.

 

Now we’re adults and things have changed,

To worrying about fires, shootings, and the mentally deranged.
