Washer Mosher
Don't ever overstuff your washer
Don't you be a laundry mosher.
Never jam your clothes in with your feet
and never thrash your arms around during this feat.
For you might just hit the start button
and then you're as good as ground mutton.
Never put the bleach up too high
for you may find it splashing in your eye.
Then you'll be so blind,
that stop button you'll never find.
You'll whirl faster round and round
and just like that matching sock,
parts of you will never be found.
Remember tipping over the box of baking soda bicarbonate
will startle your dog enough to urinate.
A chemical reaction will cause such a boom
they'll be looking for you and your dog all over the room.
So if you want to be around to tell your story
rather than going out with fireworks and glory
please don't any washing moshing do,
even though it seems like good clean fun to you.
Daddy Will You?
Daddy, will you teach me how to play chess?
So I can play with you
No, girls are not smart enough to learn to play chess
Oh
Daddy, will you teach me how to play golf?
So I can play with you
No, I would be too embarrassed to be seen with you
Oh
Daddy will you go swimming with us?
So I can play with you
No, can't you see I'm exhausted from our jog around the block
Oh
Dad I need some money for a special sweater for school
So I can fit in and be like the others
No, You think I'm just a cash register to punch
Oh
Oh
It's Father's Day
So I ripped up the card which had sat on my dresser
Since I chose to separate from him three years previous
Dad, I did not grow up just like you
I am kind, accepting, caring
And I heal
Rather than hurt
No
I did not grow up anything like you
And I grew up without you
Even though we lived in the same house
