Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Fun Fiction Factory

Willy Wonka has gone on vacation
I’m taking over from him for a while
I’ve developed a couple of products
and I hope that they’ll make you smile!

I’ve created a range of ‘round-to-it’s
they are essential for jobs that need doing
Like the tap that’s been dripping for ever
(It might stop the old cow from mooing!)

Just  stick a round-to-it doodah on tasks
that you’ve put off for so many years
then it’ll stop the old gal from nagging
and give relief from her bending your ears!

My ‘mummy minutes’ can last for a long time
so I’ve developed a phenomenal time piece
when your children are constantly pestering
my timepiece will bring much needed peace!

This watch extends the time they are waiting
glance at the dial and you’ll see all the data
then sit back and relax, have some me time
tell the kids you’ll attend to them later!

Rico Leffanta May 23, 2020 at 1:54 PM Is "Tuit" pronounced like, "Twit"? I suspect an answer within a mum's minute, clever girl! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison May 23, 2020 at 5:01 PM lol like that comment Rico:-) hugs Jan xx

Michael Tor May 23, 2020 at 9:43 AM Jan where can I get one of those "round-to-it's." Excellent idea. I am buying stock in your factory. Clever thought. Much enjoyed reading. Jan Allison May 23, 2020 at 2:26 PM lol thanks Michael:-) I think they would be invaluable in many a house hold along with 'mummy minutes' which we still joke about with my son now he's home:-) hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham May 23, 2020 at 9:31 AM Great inventions Jan, I'd get down the patent office, you're going to be rich lol. Tom Jan Allison May 23, 2020 at 1:41 PM 'mummy minutes' are my invention I am sure other mum's can relate lol -I used to use them with my son 'I will do it in a minute' and they used to stretch for a long time and we still talk about 'mummy minutes' now lol:-) hugs Jan x
