Got a stiff shoulder
Singin the woke up sore blues
Stretch it out, brother
Build a tent, Daddy
Pigpen wants it in playroom
Its too messy, son
So he’s cleaning up
With the air of a martyr
While I make pancakes
White Stripes play Black Math
On the turntable right now
Don’t turn it up TOO loud.
Pigpen calls me in
OK, the room is clean, Dad
Looks just the same, man
Rainy day outside
Feel like sittin on the porch
But rain would find me
Like a summer rose
Needs a summer rain, says Jack
Time to flip pancakes.

Edit: Later on
Compromises have been made.
The playroom half clean
No tent is set up
Instead, Thomas is stationed
In the living room
MastaG, meanwhile
Is oblivious to all
but computer games

One part inventor
One more part adventurer
On a rainy day
I recall the times
Folks built us a tent inside
Cowboys, Indians
Playing make-believe
Sleeping under pretend stars
Fantasy come true
Creative playing
Have to love a four year old
Enjoy while you can

Time to take a nap
watch a movie later on
eat some popcorn, too.
Up at 1:30
2:30, 3:30, too.
Sleep, sleep, go to sleep.
