The Life of Riley


When I was young, I had no fears
While playing outside with my toy gun.
But I sit at my desk shedding linguistical tears,
Realizing the struggle has only begun.

Yesterday, my son fell asleep amidst his blocks.
While I was doing the same in my chair.
Up real late studying and not lookin' at clocks,
Meanwhile my kids are in bed without a care.

The sad thing is that they will learn faster,
Earning them stickers with a cute little smiley
I only get sticky notes that say "See Me After".
Oh to have the Life of Riley!
