She answered back
I told her off
She blew a raspberry
Disguised in a cough
I asked her to sit
Down on the stair
She crossed her eyes
Gave a silly stare
I really tried
Not to laugh
As I went to finish
Cleaning the bath
But then she started
Singing a silly song
With a snort I knew
It had all gone wrong
My grin did spread
From ear to ear
Any chance of seriousness
Did disappear
Don't do it again
I said through a smile
"I won't mum
Sorry for being vile"
Xxxxxxxx

ReplyDeleteThanks, it was a fun thing to write
DeleteLovely and lighthearted.
ReplyDeleteThose silly songs that make you smile... :-) Make all the seriousness of life disappear somehow.
Exactly, who can feel cross then :)
DeleteHa, it can't be easy to keep a strict line in cases like this. And I had never heard blowing a raspberry, thanks for that also ;-)
ReplyDeleteMust be a British thing :)
DeleteJust delightful, very much enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm full of admiration for how you whipped that into verse!
ReplyDeleteThank you, they're all gifts that come from God to help me process life - I'm sure he like a laugh as well
DeleteI had a feeling this was based in reality. Seeing the photo at the end proves it- to me. Please do not shatter my belief by telling me this is a photo you pulled from the internet. It's your child, I know it. I believe it!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, based on reality with one small change - you won't ever find me cleaning the bath :)
DeleteThanks, it's always good to remember that life is funny when you look for it
ReplyDeleteLight hearted and leaving a smile! Thanks!
