Slavery of parenthood


the woes of being a parent
mum can you pick me up now
are my favourite jeans clean
whats there to eat in this house
can you loan me a tenner
my boyfriend has left me
so my shoulder gets wet !
motherhood feels like slavery

why can`t it be my turn?
would you like a cup of tea?
sit down mum, I`ll wash up
I will catch the bus home
are you really alright mum?
fancy coming out for a coffee
I`ll pay for myself today
we will cook supper tonight
I've watered the garden
this would be paradise for me !
