My daughter rang one morning, Hello Mom, how are you
and I, I simply said I'm fine, I hope you are well too?
Hé Mom, she said, I have a bit of a problem overhere
I said, as mothers always do, oh please do tell me dear

We have to play a softballgame not far from you she said
the problem is there are a few who desparate need a bed
for it's a weekend game we play wich takes 'till sundaynight
I've told them Oh my folks don't mind so please say it's allright

There will be only two or three but they have little kids and so
if they could stay with you the night it would be easier you know
just put a matrass here or there and they will find their way
no nuissance will it be for you as we will be playing all day

A few days later she called again, Hello Mom, how are you
is it a problem to take a few more, say maybe another two
and I said yes, no problem here, we sure will manage that
we disarange some furniture and lay down a second bed

Not one week later she called again, Hello Mom, how are you
hé listen, all the other guys, they want to sleep there too
but don't you worry Mom and Dad, they won't be trouble at all
it's only for sleeping and during the day we constantly play ball

On the pasture we put some sheep, the grass was way too high
and let her clean up afterwards, wich she did with a big sigh
we made a temporary toilet in the old wood chickenhouse
draped with curtains and we prayed there wouldn't be a mouse

And so they came with tents and all,  the few who needed a bed
they brought their food and booze along and even a nice pet
a colourful sight of people, to fourtyseven the "few" had grown
my  daughter has a very big heart, so actually I should've known


It was the most delightful weekend with such lovely people and we were stuck with food and booze for weeks after they left. LOL

Thanks for reading and yes Sunshine, she takes after me, always impulsive actions, but I think that's a lot of fun.
