Real life

The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So they stayed in the house
All that cold, cold, wet day.

Max stood there with Talia.
They stood there those two.
And they screamed, "How we wish
We had something to do!"

So all they could do was to
Whine!
    Whine!
        Whine!
            Whine!
And Papa didn't like it.
He didn't think it so fine.

So how could he manage them?
How could he cope?
With recorded cartoons
And videos he hoped.

He turned to the likes of
Dora, Bob, and Steve.
They did the job
And gave Papa a reprieve.
