Toddler

There’s glue in my plug sockets Chewed pasta in my pockets Lollipops always stuck under my shelf Oh my love, you are a naughty little elf Crayons and paint colour the dogs bed And again, today, another bruise on your head Where, this time, have you put my other shoe? And please stop throwing the lid for the glue Yet again, there’s a dinosaur in your potty And why is your face constantly snotty? The rubbish bins will never be your toys Oh my gosh, the wonderful wildness of boys Bending down one more time, will mean I won’t get up Oh my darling, you are a mucky little pup
