Phew Nursery Rhyme

There is in the house a hullabaloo Furore, a fuss, commotion, ado The in-laws will soon Return from the moon Be staying with us, a month, maybe two! Short notice, their note arrived in the mail A bolt from the blue, a cause for travail. Do not get me wrong We all get along But we’re in a fix; the house is for sale! We’re packing our things and are under stress And as you can guess the place is a mess. What can we now do! We don’t have a clue This issue we must together assess. The ruckus abates, in silence we sit On boxes and chairs, our brows tightly knit Till Susan (who else!) “Eureka” she yells She is the most smart, I have to admit. “We’ll rent the hotel that is down the street It’s small but enough (her voice is upbeat) To hold one and all Let’s give them a call.” We quickly agree and jump off our seat. Off season it is, so luck's on our side We’re happy to get a place to reside... This surely will cause Surprise for in-laws Initial concern we’re putting aside. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Children’s Limericks Contest Sponsored by Eve Roper Placed 2nd © 1st December, 2022
