A Working Mother : Mother Poetry

written by Writer : Paul McCann


 

 

There's a buzz about the house  today .

Mums got a new job and breakfast time is in the hands of the whiz kids .

 

Mum left a note on the  table  ,

Sorry I can't be there for breakfast this morning , that's just the way it is .

 

In my absence please  behave and make the effort to get your

own breakfast before going to school today .

 

Also before school hang out the wash and if there's anything left in the cupboard make your school lunch  .

OK .

 

Sorry if your school clothes aren't  ironed

I have to go to work now and bring in some money for the family .

 

Dads doing shift work and apologizes he can't be there more .

We hope you understand , its not easy .

 

The cost of living is so high that now both your Dad and I have to have to be out working seven days a week

 Mum's going to ask for a day off soon and maybe tonight  

If I'm not tired we will get the chance to speak.
