A thing I saw
A thing I seen
All the things
In quarantine
I saw my mom
I seen the sweets
But her diet
Said no treats
I saw my mom
I seen the scale
The number was big
And she said “oh well”
A thing I saw
A thing I seen
All the things
In quarantine
I saw my dad
I seen his plane
His secret new toy
Mom called it “a pain”
I saw my dad
I seen the tree
When his new toy crashed
He yelled “are you kidding me?”
A thing I saw
A thing I seen
All the things
In quarantine
I saw my brother
I seen him run
He poured red juice
In his water gun
I saw my brother
I seen him squirt
He soaked my sister’s
Pretty white skirt
A thing I saw
A thing I seen
All the things
In quarantine
I saw my sister
I seen her cry
I’m pretty sure
My brother is why
I saw my sister
I seen her hands
She pulled my brother
By his underpants
A thing I saw
A thing I seen
All the things
In quarantine
I saw my family
I seen them all
Since I’m in quarantine
With them and my doll.
