If you’re wonderingwhat Daddy did today,

Well...



First, I walked outside,And what did I see?An itty-bitty kitten

Stuck in a tree.So I climbed the treeTo save the kitten,Even though I knew I might get bitten.



But she didn’t bite me;She purred all the way.

I saved a kittenTo start my day.

Next, I drove off,I wasn't far,

When a...



"Please sir," she said,"You must come with me;No time to say why,When we get there, you'll see."

LION jumped in front of my car!



So I sat on her backAnd we sped away,Past cars in the street,And boats in the bay.

She took me to the jungle,I don’t know where.But then I saw whyShe had taken me there.



A mean green dragonHad cornered her cub,

And was threateningTo eat him...



like a six-inch sub!





So I JUMPED on the dragon,And DRAGGED him to the ground,Where I tied up his legsWith some vine I found.

The dragon couldn't untie his legs;He couldn't reach them at all.‘Cause though the dragon's really big,His arms are really small.

The dragon was defeated,The cub, safe and sound.When, all of a sudden, something HUGEWas falling to the ground!

I ducked for coverNot a moment too soon.

I almost got hit by a...



hot air balloon! hot air balloon!



The balloon man asked meTo take his place,And to fly his balloonTo outer space.

"When you get there," he said,"You'll find out why."So I got in the balloon,And rose in the sky.



I learned the purpose When I made it to space.One of the planetsHad a frown on his face.

He said he loses his smileEvery now and then,So I told him I'd help himFind it again.





I gave him the ticklesAnd we played for a while.That's all he neededTo find his smile.

So I flew away,A happy man.But then…A blast of wind began.

It carried me up and upAnd up so far,That the balloon I was in



Popped on a star .So I dropped and dropped

At a zooming pace,Past the planets

To the bottom of space.



I dropped through the clouds and into the sky,Right next to an...

enormous butterfly!



A very nice enormous butterflyI was lucky to have found.She took me by the collarAnd placed me on the ground.

Where did she place me?I won't keep it concealed...



Right in the middle of

a baseball field.

The baseball playersWere glad I came;

They needed me to playIn the baseball game.



So I bent my kneesAnd straightened my back;The pitcher pitchedAnd I gave it a whack.

The crowd went crazy

At what I had done;On the very first pitch...



I hit a home run!



My teammates wantedTo celebrate;

The problem wasIt was getting late.

And I had to get homeRight away;Otherwise I'd missThe best part of my day.



So I ran through the streetsAs fast as I could.I hopped over fencesLike a kangaroo would.



The final hill

Was particularly hard,But I didn’t stop‘Til I hit our yard.



I made it homeI can say with a grin,

Just in timeTo tuck you in.

And to say good night...And to tell you I love you...



Because no matter where I goOr what I do,

Every single momentI'm thinking of you.

Whether I'm saving a kittenOr traveling to space,Playing baseball

Or running a race.

What Daddy doesWhile he's away,Is nothing compared to this,Right here...



Good night.

The best part of my day.
