Well it turned out we all had to stay home.
First time in my house that I wasn’t alone.
So the clothes got washed and the dog got fed.
And we scratched our bellies and we scratched our heads.
Weren’t there games that sat on the table;
One called ‘Sorry,’ another called ‘Scrabble’?
Go clean out your closet and find some old toys.
Come look at some pictures from when Dad was a boy.
How long has it been since you washed your own car?
Or climbed that tree in your own back yard?
Or sat in a circle so all the back’s get scratched?
I don’t think there was a time that ever matched.
When we sat at the house lookin’ at our kin
And had a chance to begin again
