Now the Kids Are Gone

Now the kids are gone

Now the kids have gone it's all gone quiet
Not the time for me to start a drink diet
As the rooms lay empty
Walls poster bare 
Annie you Left without doing my hair!

Eldest, your last year, the time has come;
That dissertation at last must get done!

Kids remember we're at the end of the phone
And for you all, we will always have a home
Well actually,  maybe just a bed
After next move it may even have to be in the shed ;)
