Here's Alison: Who Mother's My Kids?

Alison Ross's chuckle-filled poem could readily be re-titled The Ballad of a Farmer's Wife.

For more of Alison's delightful words please click on Here's Alison in the menu on this page.

M is for milker, who you don’t have to pay
O is for older I’m getting each day
T is for time I’d like extra in bed
H is for hour you say get up instead
E is for eyes that scarcely can peep
R is for rather - rather go back to sleep!

Put these all together, and let’s not blow our lids
I mother the cows; who mothers my kids?
