49 / That's life!

That's Life

The kids are slowly dressing for school

Meanwhile the porridge's getting cool

Mum's down on her knees

'Why can't I find my blasted keys?'

Breakfast can be a tricky affair

Tempers quite often will simply flare

The youngest doesn't like orange juice

The eldest cries 'There's no excuse!'

The middle one's the last to appear

Not looking particularly full of cheer

She often comes down late

But always eats everything on her plate.

Now Dad appears to have lost his phone

He's making an effort not to moan

Suddenly everyone's in a hurry

C'est la vie! Try not to worry.

Weekday mornings are a  panorama

Always some problem or minor drama

Mum and Dad stay at the controls

A pair of resilient loving souls.
