Mothering Sunday Poems: An Anthology 1 | Page 5

Stop at the takeout For a quick snack . Return home and the daughter ’ s back .
Son ’ s at gymnastics , For it ’ s his passion . Greet the daughter in a friendly fashion . She ’ s got homework That must be completed . Let her have food so the hunger ’ s depleted .
Think about dinner . Perhaps start cooking . Put on a program to watch while working . The rest of the house Is desirably calm . Except for the times when the girl sings for all .
Son ’ s brought home . Sit down for dinner . Play the TV whilst your hunger grows thinner . Afterwards , people Disappear back upstairs . The nightly routine now starts from here .
Son has showered . Daughter ’ s in the bathroom . Help the son pray before you leave the bedroom . After she ’ s finished , Check on the daughter . Help with the ointments that you had to buy for her .
Children are dealt with . Husband washes dishes . The rest of the night goes straight as your wishes .
