I shout but no one listens
I call but no one cares
But rustle a bag of crisps
And they'll come bombing down the stairs.
I cook but get no thank you
And iron and hoover too
But open up some biscuits
And they'll say 'I love you'.
And when their noses snotty
And the snot radioactive green
I'm the lucky bugger
Who gets to wipe them clean.
I read 6 stories every night
And then I get some cuddles
But after that I'm back downstairs
Tidying their muddles.
It's a never ending battle
I know I'll never win
And that's why every other night
You'll find me drinking gin ;)
