Bath Time Blues

I'm five years old, I'm big and brave.

My bed's a rock, my house a cave!

I'll battle a lion, I'll battle a shark!

I'm not afraid of the dark! 

Or the monsters who hide in my closet to eat

Me after I've fallen fast asleep.

I'm not afraid of you at all! 

Go take a hike! Go to the mall!

Go east or west! Take any path!

 but I refuse to take a bath!

Passing Time 

I'm watching the minute hand move on the clock. 

I'm hearing the music of ticking and tocks.

Every day time moves so fast, 

but now I am counting the minutes go past.

Shh! I am watching the hands on the clock.

I'm watching the sun sail through the sky. 

I'm smiling at clouds as they float by. 

Every day, time moves so fast

But now I am counting the minutes go past.

Shh! I am watching the sun in the sky.

I'm watching my green garden grow.

I'm caring for seeds that I sow.

Every day time moves so fast, 

But now I am counting the minutes go past.

Shh! I am watching my green garden grow.
