MAM!!` ` SHE SHOUTS !!`

It`s on the stairs you lazy mare

So hurry up and get it.

That cup of tea you demanded from me

Is now getting rather tepid.

I`m not your servant!

I`m your loving mum.

But when it comes to chores!

You always seem to be

Just walking out the door!

You`d think you had no arms or legs

Oh my sweet delight.

All your foibles I adore!

But please may I go to bed tonight?

But all that is no excuse for chasing after you!

It`s now becoming such a bore

Picking bits of string and fluffy things up off your bedroom floor.

I must be mad!

Or maybe just well trained!

To allow this mess to be.

It`s such an irritation, it`s like a never ending sea!!

I just run around in circles getting nowhere fast!

BUT!!! I love you very much my darling!

I`m just running out of gas!!

So now and then could you please?

Make a cup for me!!

And let me retire gracefully before I begin to seize.
