These children, they don’t sit down!
They play, they fight, they colour
and learn to ride a bike in one day.
They jump off the slide,
don’t sit still at dinner,
can’t wind down enough
even to watch TV.
They talk all through the bedtime story,
Because they keep thinking
of things to say (so she tells me).
And after bed time,
still he tries his luck
and sneaks downstairs.
