I LOVE YOU MUM
​
Mum, you are my candlelight,
my angel, and my Silent Night.
More precious than a gift of gold
who wraps me up when I get cold.
Mum, you are my Christmas Day,
my North Star, and my snow bouquet.
You are my joy, my verse, my rhyme,
who I love more each Christmas time.
​
PASS IT TO ME
​
"Pass it, pass it, pass it Lee.
I just can't miss. Just pass to me.
​
Pass it, pass it, pass it Trace.
I'm over here in so much space.
​
Pass it, pass it, pass it John.
If you do that we can't go wrong.
​
Pass it, pass it, pass it Lynn.
If you do that, we're bound to win.
​
Pass it, pass it, pass it Joel.
If you do that I'll score a goal.
​
Pass it, pass it, pass it Trish.
​
Thanks. I'm sorry that I missed!"
​
SQUASHED
My Mum once dropped a massive hint,
which nearly hit Dad’s head.
Dad dodged, and tripped, and then he fell
and squashed an Easter egg.
He then slipped on a daffodil,
which didn’t seem like fun,
as when his bottom landed,
it squashed a hot cross bun!
He squashed a hat by accident,
and most of what he touched.
He is my funny, silly Dad,
who I love very much!

DISTURBING EATING HABITS
​
​
"Eat up your greens. They'll do you good."
"But Dad, please Dad. They taste like wood."
"Like wood" shrieks Dad. "How would you know?"
"I had a bite out the door below."
​
"The door!" yells Dad. "It's not all there.
What will Mum say? She will despair."
"Mum" said boy "Will be just fine,
for she's had some as well, you'll find!"

ADULTS CAN'T DO PUZZLES
​
​
"Adults can’t do puzzles.
They don’t know what to do.
Puzzles are for children
who have only just turned two.
Adults can’t do puzzles,
so have a cup of tea.
I don’t need your assistance.
It’s basic stuff for me.
Adults can’t do puzzles,
so please leave me alone.
I’ll do it so much quicker
If you play games on your phone.
ADULTS CAN’T DO PUZZLES!
I tell you all the time!
(But Mum says Dad is like a child -
So I'll let him finish mine!)"
BUT
​
You can dress up as a banana at a family function.
But never start a sentence with a conjunction.
​
SILLY STRETCHES
​
Silly stretches, silly roars.
Silly faces, silly snores.
Silly waving, silly feet.
Silly goldfish. Let’s repeat!
Silly stretches, silly roars.
Silly faces, silly snores.
Silly waving, silly feet.
Silly goldfish. Let’s repeat!
Silly stretches, silly roars.
Silly faces, silly snores.
Silly waving, silly friends .
Silly goldfish. That’s the end!
