GROUNDED FOR A WEEK

So there in my hospital bed I had to lay

Couldn't even get myself up to play

Surgery or 2 later and after a while

I got a surprise that made me smile

I got me a wheelchair colored green

Was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen

Now I felt like I was  just set free

My little heart was filled with glee

Even gave the nurses a happier tone

The ice cream I could get on my own

I floor, 2 floors, 3 floors and then 4

4 is surgery, I'm not allowed no more

So all over the hospital there I went 

All day in my green wheelchair I spent

Cafeteria, lobby and in the parking lot

Nowhere you could go that I did not

Come time for me to take my meds

We were supposed to be in our beds

I had all the nurses looking for me

I wasn't where I was supposed to be

So they got together and found a way

Over the intercom they would say

Richard you in your little wheelchair

Come to your bed and don't you dare

Make any of us have to come to seek

Or you'll be grounded for all of a week

Then I'd hurry right back to my room

A week with no chair would be my doom

So friends come back next time and see

How my one month grounding came to be
