Straight Talking Mcgee

McGee sat deep in his overstuffed chair As his son came home from school McGee called out as Shawn rushed by “I need to 'ave a word with you” So Shawn scuffled over and flopped in a chair His eyes looking down at the floor McGee puffed his pipe and gave it a light Said “Let me get right to the core” “I really don’t know the best way to say But this is the way that I’ve opted I’ll just tell you straight, no reason to wait The truth is, Son, you’re adopted “ “I knew it" said Shawn, "I knew all along It couldn’t have been more apparent, Now that I’m free, I demand it you see ! I want to meet both my birth parents” “We’re your birth parents” declared McGee “And don’t worry everything’s fine But you had better get ready it’s almost three And your new Parents should be here on time”
