On the Twelfth Day of School Term my family gave to me…. (to the tune of ’12 Days of Christmas)
12 Minutes off!
11 Loads of Washing
10 Broken Pencils
9 School trip letters
8 Muddy trainers
7 Spoons of Calpol
6 dirty nappies
FIVE WHINGING KIDS!!!
4 Worming tablets
3 French Homeworks
2 raging colds
and
A table full of mouths to feed.
I Thank You (falls into vat of wine).
Here are some other Odes to Motherhood that have entertained me.
