My Hero

by Willis Hall

 

My dad’s as brave as a dad can be,

I rate him Number One,

He’s not afraid of the dead of night,

Or anything under the sun.

He’s not afraid of a late-night film,

Full of horrors on the telly,

And is he afraid of skeletons?

Not dad, not on you Nelly!

He’s not afraid of meeting ghosts,

He’s even smile and greet ‘em,

And things that scare most dads the most,

My dad could just defeat ‘em.

He’s not afraid of vampires,

Or a wolf-man come to get him,

If Frankenstein’s monster knocked on our door,

He wouldn’t let that upset him.

My dad’s brave as a dad can be,

And he’s always ready to prove it.

So why, when a spider’s in the bath,

Does Mum have to come and remove it?
