"Mot...My favorite poem, by Ruth Hamilton:<br /><br /> "Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth, Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,<br /> Hang out the washing and butter the bread,<br /> Sew on a button and make up a bed.<br /> Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?<br /> She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.<br /> Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue<br /> (Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).<br /> Dishes are waiting and bills are past due<br /> (Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).<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 her eyes the most wonderful hue?<br /> (Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).<br /><br /> The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,<br /> For 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."Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10315843187811122669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352969948574267814.post-41407219648259770762010-05-19T13:50:45.935-04:002010-05-19T13:50:45.935-04:00I have trouble doing the house chore things along ...I have trouble doing the house chore things along with work and everything that takes up time but matters more than a dust-free shelf, and I don't have any kids! In fact, I just noted this morning that the pile of laundry in my closet has not only overflowed the basket it is a mountain threatening to erupt into the bathroom if not immediately addressed. And hey, 90-95% is an 'A' and you can't do much better than that!AMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18438054183318462574noreply@blogger.com
