When little boys,
...are having fun,
They're doing something,
...they ought not have done.

With little girls,
...it's not the same,
For they have boys,
...to take the blame.

And with sisters,
...it's worst of all,
So many times,
...I took the fall.

But now I'm grown,
...my childhood through,
I'll have some fun,
...that's what I'll do.

I'll play some games,
...with my dear daughter,
With all the toys,
...that I have bought her.

A grand old time,
...then crash! bang! boom!
Looks like a tornado,
...has hit the room.

Your mother's coming,
...don't make a peep,
Just close your eyes,
...play you're asleep.

I'm sorry dear,
...what can I say?
I guess I just,
...got carried away.

While it may seem,
...things are the same,
This time I'll gladly,
...take all the blame.

I concede.

Ditto taking the blame!  I loved this, and isn't it just great - we get to play with toys all over again, I love it, and I adored this poem too

Live today like it was your last day on earth!
