And I need you to walk me to the store

Thu, Oct 27, 2005

Music, Others have said it better

I need you to tell me what to wear
I need you to help and comb my hair
I need you to come and tie my shoes
I need you to come and keep me amused
From my cave to my grave
I guess I’ll always be a child
I need you to help me reach the door
And I need you to walk me to the store
And I need you to please explain the war
And I need you to heal me when I’m sore
You can tell by my smile
That I’m a child
And I need you to sit me on your lap
And I need you to make me take my nap
Could you first pull out a book and
Read me some of that
Cause I need you to make me take my nap
And I need you to recognize my friends
Cause they’re there even though
You don’t see them
They got their own chair, plate, and a seat
You know I won’t touch my food
Unless they eat
From the roof to the floor
I crawl around some more
I’m a child
And I need you to help me blow my nose
And I need you to help me count my toes
And I need you to help me put on my clothes
And I need you to hide it when it shows

    I like feeling like I’m in Neverland! It’s more comfortable than the real world!

  9. Wriju Says:

    I have been a good boy today. No mischief! (well almost..) So naturally I deserve all that candy.
    Little Wriju is very happy :-)

    I don’t think I’m capable of rhyme today but I do need:

    Internet access fixed at my house, so I can get work done at work (silly, I know, but I’m easily distracted).

    A cup of hot chocolate, because it is much colder here than October should ever be.

  11. True Blue Guy Says:

    Nice poem,the only line missing is :

    ‘I need lotsa beer to keep away the blues’

    Would probably sound nice after

    ‘I need you to come and tie my shoes’

    *evil*

    thanks for visiting me

    cheers

    I didn’t of course. He must look up to me. I stole his lollies though.

    Christopher
    He is awesome. I saw him last night on tv, he looks like a druid or something.

    angel
    i hope you mean peter pan’s neverland and not michael jackson’s. Cause that can’t be very comfortable.

    wriju
    glad to have made you happy little boy

    Stephanie
    internet access, that’s more important than food to me. hot chocolate mmmmm and a couple of biscuits.

    true blue guy
    yeah beer is good for children, i agree.

    geezer

    morgan
