My first-born baby woke up this morning,
And climbed up the furniture
To grab the Cars DVD.
He then opened it, put it into the DVD player, turned the TV to the right channel and pressed “play.”

Got a clean cup for himself,
Poured some apple juice without spilling,
And sat down to watch the rest of his movie.
