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

Fabulous - great take on the prompt!
Lovely and lighthearted.
Those silly songs that make you smile... :-) Make all the seriousness of life disappear somehow.
Ha, 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 ;-)
Just delightful, very much enjoyed this one.
I'm full of admiration for how you whipped that into verse!
I 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!
Oh yes, based on reality with one small change - you won't ever find me cleaning the bath :)
Thanks, it was a fun thing to write
Thanks, it's always good to remember that life is funny when you look for it
Exactly, who can feel cross then :)
Must be a British thing :)
Thank you, they're all gifts that come from God to help me process life - I'm sure he like a laugh as well
Light hearted and leaving a smile! Thanks!
