My Family

My house is full of nuts,
But I’m the klutiest klutz.

My sister drives me up the wall,
My brother, gee, he’s the craziest
Of all!

My dad’s a worrywart,
My mum’s the cheery sort,
And my twin is the one always in court.

What a funny family are we;
But I love my great, big family!

Woe to Me,

Woe to me, I am so excessively tired
Because my last dentist
Appointment has expired.

Why dentists
And mentalists
Have anything in common
I don’t know;
Woe to me,
Woe!

Woe to me, woe;
I have to miss the fairy show!
Why this dreadful punishment
I don’t know,
Probably because I’ve stubbed my toe;
Woe, to me,
Woe!

Prices

The market prices have gone straight over the hill;
Oh, how on earth am I going to pay the bill?

The gas,
The electricity,
Oh, the complicity!

The food,
The water,
Oh, the disorder!

The decorations,
The lights,
Oh, the late nights!

How on earth will I ever survive?
I really do want to be left alive!

Breakfast

Wheatbix, rice bubbles, cornflakes too,
I feel like a cow,
Shouting ‘moo!’

And what about a delightful pancake?
That’s another decision I have to make.

Why not try fruit and oats?
At least they aren’t
Drawn from a moat.

The babushka dolls are
Staring at me funny,
I think I inherited this fooling
Around from my mummy.

Next time I make breakfast,
Beside my little bust,
I shall remember
To add a little cucumber, I must, I must.
