Every kid loves to hear that glorious sound The crack that echoes around the playground A young boy just swung his tightly gripped bat Like lightning he runs leaving behind his blue hat Right off it's a home run for this newly formed team Friends shouting, hardly believing what they've just seen Running past each base we can hear this young lads dreams Hey dad, someday I'm going to be on the big league teams Author Eileen Clark 2023 Image ~ istockphoto.com Also ~ scrippsranchll.org
Mommy’s hats are fun to put on because she is so pretty
And when I put one on I tend to get a little bit giddy
Because I look so grown up and somewhat resemble her
Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, I’m really not too sure
~*~
Right now I look like my dad, that’s what most folks say
But dad say’s not to worry, you keep changing every day
So listen up, I’m not saying this just out of fatherly duty
Even right now without those silly hats, your a real cutie

My friend Joey and me were hanging out in his yard Had nothing to do though we were thinking real hard Nearing end of August we were sweating from the heat Joey gives out a shout, I got an idea that's really neat We could go to the corner ice cream and candy store Got no money to spend, we'll get thrown out the door We can go swimming at the junior high's indoor pool A locked gate, no lifeguard on duty, no way to be cool Our last plan brought us to our towns roadside stream A No Trespassing sign nailed to a tree can be easily seen When Joie and I are striped down to are swimming trunks Up pulls officer Kelly's cruiser, oh brother we are sunk Driving me home I thought my dad was quite upset I did something for a long time he might not forget But he smiled at me and said we're on the same page I got caught swimming there too when I was your age.
