Let Them Jump On the Bed

Let Them Jump on the Bed By Elton Camp I can see a mistake we parents make for sure Let children jump on the bed when immature When I was young, a bouncy trampoline Was a thing I had not one time ever seen When, to leap on my room’s bed, I’d dare It brought a rebuke and disapproving stare I prevented my daughter from doing it too But that is a thing that I have come to rue For it was quite unlikely to do any harm And would have been a source of charm Jumping on the bed I would still like to try I can’t and there’s a very good reason why I have grown too old now to bounce on the bed For across the level floor I must carefully tread
