Childhood Fun
Mummy, come in from the garden!
Mummy, come see what I've done!
I got out my paintbox and did you some pictures,
oh, Mummy, I've had so much fun!
There's a Lion, a Tiger and Cheetah
I've drawn all up the kitchen wall,
and the Penguin and Polar Bear on the fridge door
look like they are having a ball!
Ooh, look, a big snake, it's all slimy and green
that I've done across the kitchen floor
and I really am certain the mice on the curtains
you'll love, do you want to see more?
Oh, Mummy, your hands are both shaking,
your face has gone terribly white,
there's a tear in your eye and you've let out a sigh,
oh dear, Mum- are you feeling alright?
