Mama Tells It Like It Is

Maria Josephine is our seventeenth nanny They cannot take it They can’t! Junior has colic He cries and he rants He is a horrid little creature Except when he is asleep But that is fitful His sleep is never lengthy or deep She will leave us too, They rarely stay later than a day In the mean time I will get a bit of rest For I am the mama who dares not run away.
