spoken with just a wry smile..
Without reason or rhyme we take on the task
Of bringing up youngsters, no questions we ask,
But what if we did?,would results be the same?
Would we rush to the bedroom with only one aim?
Would our ardour be crushed by the thought of no sleep?
Knowing of just what hours you"ll keep,
The wailing on high and nappies galore
Are only a taster of what is in store,
And don't think a day out will give you a break
Not with the clutter you"ll now have to take!
With wipes and the nappies, a pushchair to load
The cars on the floor barely missing the road
Then off you all go, but soon you"ll be met
With the Disney CD and "are we there yet?"
When you arrive they all want a wee,
Which isn't so easy now you have three!
So Dad heads for one loo while Mum to another
To relieve the toddlers, sisters and brother,
Then prams get filled and we are off at a gallop,
"Just watch where your going!", oh no, too late, Wallop!
So screams fill the air as they show you the grazes
Just how you keep going it really amazes,
round for the groceries and shops as you pant,
"I want an ice cream" "oh no you cant!"
Then off for dinner but your not surprised
When hoops of spaghetti fly past your eyes,
Then comes the pudding, oh what a mistake!
2 wanted ice cream but you've got "em cake
Now dinner is over, the battle is won,
How did you cope before all this fun?
And when day is through and you've packed all away
And you've sung all the rhymes as in bed they lay,
You sit down and cuddle the one that you love
open some wine and then thank God above
For all the tough work is sure not in vain,
And given the chance you"d do it again!!
