They grow tall as a

And ask questions you can't answer,

And supply you with

About how everybody else wears lipstick sooner and stays up later,

And if they are popular,

Once they find that you're

But after you've raised them and educated them and gowned them,

They just take their little fingers and wrap you around them.

Being a father Is quite a bother,

But I like it, rather.
