I think you will enjoy it too:<BR/><BR/><BR/>Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,<BR/>Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,<BR/>Hang out the washing, make up the bed,<BR/>Sew on a button and butter the bread.<BR/><BR/>Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?<BR/>She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,<BR/>Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.<BR/>Dishes are waiting and bills are past due<BR/>Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo<BR/><BR/>The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew<BR/>And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo<BR/>But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo<BR/>Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?<BR/>Lullabye, rockaby lullabye loo.<BR/><BR/>The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow<BR/>But children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow.<BR/>So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!<BR/>I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.<BR/><BR/>- Ruth Hulbert HamiltonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18590158.post-27136705638132183642007-07-03T23:58:00.000-04:002007-07-03T23:58:00.000-04:00What a sweet post!
