“Daddy you’re a pig”,

Batman said;

Just before

he went to bed!

Then I was a tiger

on the floor;

I had to chase him;

And I had to roar,

as he cried for help,

“help me, mammy, please,

daddy is trying

to eat my knees.”

Then he shot me, – BANG!

Just like that;

then he came and licked me,

like a cat!

We made houses

from his building bricks;

a fist of ten

still counted six!

Then up the stairs

to his train;

and soldiers and animals

once again.

“Dad, you’re not a pig,-

instead be a sheep!”

Batman said,

as he fell asleep!
