Bathing With Minnows

I just got up when I heard the water come on,
Been listening to ya'll yacking since dawn,
Jordan wearing his favorite shorts in the tub,
Minnows swimming around in the hub-bub,

Where do ya'll come up with all this stuff?
Netting and feeding minnows ain't enough?
But ya'll must be fair with all ya'll catching,
The lizards bathed too and came out retching,

Ya'll say the cat accidently took a swim,
Jordan said curiousty got the better of him,
Levi says he fed the cat,
He doesn't know where dog food's at,

There's toys from the closet all over the floor,
But ya'll have moved on to something more,
Gonna have to stand there like a drill sargeant again,
Make ya'll pick up like little men,

There is no sense in living in this mess,
Ya'll will grow up one day I guess,
And when ya'll walk out through the door,
Life will still have many chores,


There will be jobs and families to feed,
You too will want your kids to heed,
What you say and pick up all they take out,
Then you will know what my life was about,

I am not upset, not complaining,
How much time with ya'll is remaining?
Just take some wisdom as you go,
And remember how I loved ya'll so,
