Three Little Boys
Three little boys who love to play games
Ryan, Garrett, and Ethan are their names
Out they go to play tag on the lawn
Now it's hide and seek and off they're gone
I come out to find them and look all around
Wait a minute, I hear a sound
It's coming from behind that tree
Perhaps if I'm quiet they won't hear me
I move silently, they don't hear a thing
I'm going to catch them for I'm the monster king
I spring up behind them, "Boo!" I shout
They all start to scream and jump about
Off they run and hide beneath the trampoline
They fear the monster king thinking he is mean
But really I'm not a bad monster you know
It's just that I tripped and stubbed my toe
I tell them I'm sorry I'll not scare them again
Because really all I want is to be their friend
So I take them inside for a snack and a drink
Someday they'll have kids of their own I think
But even then my little boys they'll always be
For I am their father and I love them all three.
