Catch me, catch me ....



Catch me, catch me .... if you can,
For I am a workin’ and it’s at hand...
I'll sell it all and go find some land ....
Live in the woods and paint is my plan!!

I'm tired of living in everyone's scam,
Especially when it seems they don't give a damn.
Me and Jasper ... Dad and I ...
We are the envy of peaceful eye.

Enjoyin’ the peace and lovin' the quiet,
You come along and blow that diet ...
Bringing ruckus romp and roar,
Clip their wings so they can't soar,
And break the glass in another door.

Save our belongings for they are antique,
Most are one of a kind and very unique.
Children are fun and I love them a lot ....
But would prefer they get their very own spot!
