Oh Boy

Hey, this is nice floating around in here
No sweat and no strain, got nothing to fear

Whoa! What is this? (Don't mean to complain)
I think I got flushed down somebody's drain

Ouch! What's the deal? Must you be so darn rough?
I refuse to come out! Don't like it? That's tough!

Crap, I'm exhausted; just too tired to fight
The lights! The lights! Turn off the freekin' lights!

Slap ME on the ass? That hurts you old cow!
Okay! I'm screaming! You satisfied now?------


Hello, pleased to meet'cha, and who might be you?
Daddy? Yeah, right, so what else is new?

Good lord, I'm burnt out, I could use a short rest
Where? Well okay, right here on your chest?

Wow, this is cool! It's really kinda neat
Like hearing the sound of your gentle heartbeat

Yes, rock me a little, I sure won't refuse
And hum me a tune while I take a quick snooze...

* I had the pleasure and privilege of being the first to hold my son after he was born.
