Ditsy Moment
Ditsy moment, wow!
This takes me back a few years
I think I was aged about twelve
It left my father in tears
It was on a summers morning
I was sound asleep in bed
Subconsciously I heard my father shout
And throw something at my head
"Hey James get up,
Your going to be late for school"
I sat up straight in bed
Hurrying not to break the rules
Quickly I got dressed
As I rushed for a bite to eat
It's then that I noticed my father
Crying in his seat
His tears turned to laughter
As he struggles to calmly say
"I'm sorry my son I just couldn't resist
In fact it's really Saturday"
Looking back at that time
Today it's still funny to me
But you really had to see
Me sitting up as stiff as a tree
