Worst Things

Worst Things

Image result for evil smile my little pony animation gif

Boring grown-up talk on telly

Putting my foot in an ice-cold welly;

The day I found my gerbil dead;

Getting out of bed;

Shopping with Mum for socks and vests,

Reading and writing tests;

Eggs boiled too hard or too soft,

The spiders in our loft;

Mum and Dad quarrelling -


They'll make it up - I know;

Being kissed by my Aunty Flo;

Washing, cleaning shoes,

Hearing my sister humming;

Having the house all tidy and spotless

'Cos visitors are coming;

Big skinny dogs, new shoes and slippers,

Posh voices, smelly feet, klippers,

Parsnips, cabbage; losing things down grid

Having different clothes

From all the other kids.



Stopping there for now:

Don't want to be a bore.

I might come back in half an hour

And think of fifty more.
