I skipped the big dance on Saturday nightJust to be in the house by myself for some writingI made a few snacks and I watched an old "Cheers"Played a few tapes and I drank a fake beerI washed all the dishes and vacuumed the rugPlayed with the cats and I folded some clothesGive me the time and I'll find the distractionAnd try not to think about what we've been talking aboutKids, should we have 'em or shouldn't we?Kids, you've been ticking and I've got the batteriesToo old to jump in with youthful naivetéToo young to give up the should we or shouldn't we?KidsWhen I was a kid I thought I wouldn't marryUntil I was plenty old, say, about thirtyMy own dad was forty three when I was bornI was sure I'd be younger than that when I had my ownKids, but we're busy, successful andKids, demanding attention and stressfulNot even to mention complete transformationOf life as we know it, will I ever be ready forKidsLetras de cancionesLast year I had coffee with Shel SilversteinFor me it was kind of an honorHe asked if I had any kids, I said noHe said, "Gotta do that."I said, "Oh."So you say we just take the plunge and decide toAnd I say I need some more timeBut that link's getting old, tooAs old as the person whose using itHe needs to be surer he's willingly choosing itKids, all the responsibilitiesKids, all the sacrifice and the anxietyBut what greater purpose than making a babyYou say you're ready and I'm always maybe toKids From Letras Mania
