Poem About Our Family

This is a very current, very accurate, irreverent, silly poem about our family:

Daddy'd like to sit at home

And for just awhile be left alone

Driving to Rice is very far

He spends his whole life in the car

And being pestered by his job

And his family too, when he gets off.

Mom spends all week in the house

Dreaming of getting to go out

She likes to take Daddy and the boys

To do fun things they don't enjoy

And when they start to cry and moan

She wishes she'd left them at home.

Toys are what Gabe's living for

He's always needing just one more

For "buy it now"s he always looks

He wants to punch his homeschool books

He waits all day for UPS

And says, "Soccer's kind of fun, I guess."

Max likes to be walked around

He doesn't care much for lying down

He likes to watch and bite and touch

Luckily he doesn't cry very much

He loves to give the cutest smile

Then rip your hair out, baby-style.
