Poems by a Hands-on Dad Part 1

Poems by a Hands-on Dad

(Who's read one too many children's books)

There was one

Now there's two

Our house has become a zoo

Full of screams and pee and poo

I love it, you should too

***

Did you ever think

How on earth to catch a wink

Or go out with friends for a drink

All day long you're on the brink

Like your ship's gonna sink

And your head's turning pink

If you still can't get a link

Then you should have some kids, I think

***

"Daddy, I can hear you snore!"

I only just slept and you want more?

Sleeping has become a chore

On the bed, sofa or the floor

On the floor?

Yes! Near the toilet door

Just have a kid or four

You don't get to sleep no more

***
