Just in case you having one of ‘those’ days when nothing’s going right and you’re wondering why you bother – here’s a little something to let you know you are NOT alone and hopefully bring a little smile to your face!
I’ve got snot on my skirt, and sick on my shirt,
Everything’s covered in kiddie dessert,
I’ve no time to change,
So I’ll just look deranged,
In clothes smeared with baby food,
Thrown from close range.
What I really want now is a sleep or long soak,
But no time, I’ll have to drink coffee and coke,
I’ve lost control, it just is no joke,
Life would be easy if I were a bloke.
I’ve no time to eat, that would be a treat,
A romantic meal an impossible feat.
Real food would be great,
But it’s part of mums’ fate,
To only eat scraps the kids leave on their plate.
Where is the note I wrote to myself?
I’m sure it was there, in that pile on the shelf,
When was the party for Lucy and Fay?
Oh bugger, it happened yesterday,
I’ll have to ring them or send them a note,
If it goes on like this I’ll cut my own throat.
I’ve got so much to do, it makes me feel blue,
And where should I start? I haven’t a clue.
My list is so long,
Where do I go wrong?
I need a plan to move me along.

Brilliant!, although I do take exception to line 10!, I’m a bloke and this could have been written about me, well…apart from the skirt part! made me smile though, thanks!
How true, you forgot to mention that although there is never time to eat, and running round like a fool, still manage to put on weight! And its a mums fate to talk in rhyme all the time!
Love it!
