A Nap Interrupted
The little boy lays fast asleep
The crib where all his secrets keep
With quiet feet I softly enter
And silently my heart does leap
He does not know that I am near
For if he wakes one thing is clear
My goose is cooked, my ass is grass
And suddenly I'm filled with fear
For he is stirring, he may arise
Should I leave and tell some lies
That I was nowhere near his room
Is this where truth goes to die
But he rolls over and hugs his bear
I cannot breathe, I do not dare
Near death for me, but now I'm good
So I collapse down in the chair
Oh, woe is me, the sound it makes
And now the kid is wide awake
I am doomed, all hope is lost
And all it took was one mistake
Why couldn't I just let him be
This little one I had to see
He sits up now, gives me a smile
And suddenly all's right by me
