1 Papa’s Spectacles
Today our papa
Is searching everywhere,
He has lost his spectacles,
It was his only pair!
He can’t read the newspaper,
He can’t watch TV,
He can’t cut the vegetables,
Oh! Where can it be?
He checked inside his pockets,
He glanced under his chair,
He searched near the window,
He looked everywhere.
I told him, “Stop, Papa!”
I went up close, and said!
“Papa, your spectacles
Are right there on your head!”
