Me and my dad

My dad is cool and he loves me much,
He made me a desk with a unique sort of touch.

When he smiles his face relaxes,
He'll play with me if he's not busy with taxes.

When Mum says to us "You two are a nuisance!"
We'll go outside and pick her petunias!

Then Mum will say "Oh I do love you two!'
She'll say "How'd you know my favourite colour is blue?'

My dad is the kind that all people wish for,
He always is good and follows the law

Each night before I go to my bed,
I say to my Dad 'Where is my ted?'

See, we play this game where each night he hides,
My beloved stuffed bear with rips up his sides!

When he returns my teddy to me,
On his cheeks I kiss him with glee

I tell him I love him and he hugs me tight,
Then we say 'Have a good night!'

But the fun doesn't stop 'cos all night I dream,
Of the fun we had and the fun to come!

Thanks Dad!
