  What do Daddies do all day?

  Daddies work while children play.

  They work at desks.

  They work in stores,

  in factories

  and out-of-doors.

  Some Daddies help us keep well-fed.

  They make buns and cakes and bread.

  Some build planes.

  Some make them fly.

  Some catch fish for us to fry.

  Dads make clocks

  and Dads make chairs.

  Farmer Dads grow corn and pears.

  Dads are sailors dressed in blue.

  And Daddies are policemen, too.

  Dads dig coal

  and Dads drive cars.

  Dads put food in cans and jars.

  Doctor Daddies keep folks well.

  Daddies paint

  and Daddies sell.

  Daddies sit at desks and write

  the books we read in bed each night.

  Dads make steel

  and Daddies sing.

  Dads do almost everything.

  But when they’ve worked the whole day through, what do they like best to do?

  By taxi, train, by car and bus,

  Daddy rushes home—to us!

 

 

  Janet Frank, Daddies
