Thanks, Mom!

Thanks, Mom!

The other day, when I woke,

I was feeling kind of funny.

With two crazy, jumpy legs

And a rumble in my tummy.

So, I jumped downstairs,

To see what I could have to eat.

I needed something really good

To stop the jumping in my feet!

Then I said, “Hey, Mom?

Can I have something that is yummy?”

She said, “Yes, Dear.

Let’s get you something for that tummy!”

I had waffles and oatmeal

And a great big pile of bacon.

And I ate it all up

To see if that would stop the aching.

Then, with a, "Thanks, Mom!"

I went out onto the lawn.

Where I played and I played

And I played and I played...

Until... "Uh, oh!"

I felt a grumble in my tummy

So, I said, "Hey, Mom!

Can I have something that is yummy?"

She said, "Yes, dear.

Put down your stick and wooden hoop,

Because for lunch... we're having...

Chicken noodle soup!"

BLOOP! BLOOP! BLOOP!

I put some crackers in my soup.

And with a SLURP! and a MUNCH!

I ate up all my lunch.

Then, with a, "Thanks, Mom!"

I went back out to the lawn.

Where I played and I played

And I played and I played.

Until... "Uh, oh!"

I felt a grumble in my tummy

So, I said, "Hey, Mom!

Can I have something that is yummy?"

She said, "Yes, dear.

Wash your hands and sit up nice.

Because for dinner... we're having...

Chicken, beans and rice!"

I said, "Yahoo!

That's my favourite kind of food!"

And I ate it all up

'Cause it was really, really good!

Then, with a, "Thanks, Mom!"

I went back out to the lawn.

Where I played and I played

And I played and I played.

Until... "Uh, oh!"

I had a great... big... YAWN!

That's what happens when you spend

All day out playing on the lawn!

So, I jumped upstairs

Brushed my teeth and got in bed.

I fluffed up my comfy pillow,

Then laid down my sleepy head.

Then, with a, "Night, Mom!"

Closed my eyes and fell asleep.

And I dreamed and I dreamed

And I dreamed and I dreamed...
