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
