I DEDICATE THIS STORY TO TEACHERS AND PARENTS

IT'S TOUGH TO BE A KID

IF I WAS DAD AND

HE WAS ME

I WOULD SHOW HIM

HE WOULD SEE

IT'S TOUGH TO BE A KID

I'D NEVER MAKE 

A SILLY RULE

LIKE WALKING

TWO WHOLE BLOCKS

TO SCHOOL

THEN

ALL THE KIDS WOULD 

THINK I'M COOL

WHY HANG MY CLOTHES

OR MAKE MY BED

WHEN NO ONE'S COMING

I'D PLAY INSTEAD

IT MAKES NO SENSE

             THEN I'D STAY UP 

              IF I'M NOT TIRED

              AND GO TO BED

              WHEN i DESIRE

IM NOT TIRED

WHY TAKE THE TIME

TO BRUSH MY TEETH

WHEN I KNOW LATER 

I'LL JUST EAT

IT'S TOUGH TO BE A KID

IT IS TOUGH BEING A KID

THEN-IN CAME DAD

HE SMILED AND SAID 

TOMORROW'S SCHOOL

IT'S TIME FOR BED

BUT I'M NOT SLEEPY

CAN'T I PLAY?

I WISH DAD WAS ME

FOR JUST ONE DAY!!

SOON I FADED OFF TO SLEEP

AND WHAT A DREAM I HAD

DAD WAS CHANGING INTO ME

AND I NOW INTO DAD

LOOK AT ME

IM DAD

I RUBBED MY EYES

HOW COULD IT BE

BUT THERE I WAS

A GROWN UP ME
