Daddy’s Making Dinner

Daddy’s making dinner
I’ve seen it all before
French fries black and burning
And meat loaf on the floor

Daddy’s making dinner
The sugar bowl just broke
Fido ate the gravy
The house has filled with smoke

Daddy’s making dinner
But I’m not one to moan
Soon he will surrender
And go pick up the phone
   
Daddy made the dinner
Today’s my lucky day
Dinner’s in the trash can
And pizza’s on the way!
                     --Jeff Mondak
