Answer
My
child
arrived
just
the
other
day
He
came
to
the
world
in
the
usual
way
But
there
were
planes
to
catch
and
bills
to
pay
He
learned
to
walk
while
I
was
away
And
he
was
talkin'
'fore
I
knew
it,
and
as
he
grew
He'd
say
"I'm
gonna
be
like
you,
Dad
You
know
I'm
gonna
be
like
you"
And
Answer
the
cat's
in
the
cradle
and
the
silver
spoon
Little
boy
blue
and
the
man
on
the
moon
When
you
comin'
home,
Dad
I
don't
know
when,
but
we'll
get
together
then
You
know
we'll
have
a
good
time
then
My
son
turned
ten
just
the
other
day
He
said,
"Thanks
for
the
ball,
Dad,
come
on
let's
play
Can
you
teach
Answer
me
to
throw,"
I
said
"Not
today
I
got
a
lot
to
do,"
he
said,
"That's
okay"
And
he
walked
away
but
his
smile
never
dimmed
And
said,
"I'm
gonna
be
like
him,
yeah
You
know
I'm
gonna
be
like
him"
And
the
cat's
in
the
cradle
and
the
silver
spoon
Little
boy
blue
and
the
man
on
the
moon
When
you
Answer
comin'
home,
Dad
I
don't
know
when,
but
we'll
get
together
then
You
know
we'll
have
a
good
time
then
Well,
he
came
from
college
just
the
other
day
So
much
like
a
man
I
just
had
to
say
"Son,
I'm
proud
of
you,
can
you
sit
for
a
while"
He
shook
his
head
and
he
said
with
a
smile
"What
I'd
Answer
really
like,
Dad,
is
to
borrow
the
car
keys
See
you
later,
can
I
have
them
please"
And
the
cat's
in
the
cradle
and
the
silver
spoon
Little
boy
blue
and
the
man
on
the
moon
When
you
comin'
home
son
I
don't
know
when,
but
we'll
have
a
good
time
then
I've
long
since
retired,
my
son's
moved
away
I
Answer
called
him
up
just
the
other
day
I
said,
"I'd
like
to
see
you
if
you
don't
mind"
He
said,
"I'd
love
to,
Dad,
if
I
can
find
the
time
You
see
my
new
job's
a
hassle
and
the
kid's
got
the
flu
But
it's
sure
nice
talking
to
you,
Dad,
It's
been
sure
nice
talking
to
you"
And
as
I
Answer
hung
up
the
phone
it
occurred
to
me
He'd
grown
up
just
like
me
My
boy
was
just
like
me
And
the
cat's
in
the
cradle
and
the
silver
spoon
Little
boy
blue
and
the
man
on
the
moon
When
you
comin'
home
son
I
don't
know
when,
but
we'll
get
together
then,
Dad
We're
gonna
have
a
good
time
then
