Whats For Tea Mum
Whats for tea mum
As a child my diet was a thing to behold
whats on my plate was for me I was told
some of it great some bits quite yucky
cover it in sauce get it down in the tummy
Mum was not the best cook in the world
not even our town, street or even our house
if truth were to be told she was a disaster
if it was possible her meals needed a plaster
burn it she would or make it all mushy
gravy with lumps don't mention dumplings
custard was a no no as was baking a cake
in life she was wonderful but cooking not great
I'm very sad that she died many year past
time is a healer coming to terms at last
I miss her each day for her good honest love
but her cooking, well, I'm glad it has passed.
