My Father Gets Robbed Every Day

My father gets robbed every day.

Money is stolen before anything he can say.

Five thieves live in his house,

Stealing all his cheese like a mouse.

Before he could stop,

The youngest thief’s tear takes the top.

Every day, they steal everything he earns.

Day after day, but he never learns.

"The school budget is over our heads,"

The two youngest thieves said.

Again, some money he led..

Which he’ll never get back, the money's dead...

"My new clothes and your house expenses,"

The strong thief exclaims, "Everything’s so damn expensive!"

The two elder thieves,

Looking at their father, they laugh and weep.

But he just stares and smiles.

The thieves robbed him and ran away for miles.

No wonder my father gets robbed every day—

Cause in a family of six, he stays...
