THE CALL OF MY SCREAMING CHILD

The call the hum the ever ending screaming

With wooden matchsticks it will stop me dreaming

An instinctive calling to bottle feeding

Livid so ratty it’s a tiresome feeling

One precious babe nestling against my chest

As we stick together as one does best

To give you a change from your mother’s breast

I am wilting over you for a yearning rest

Come on little chum I will pat your back

So burp your wind at my sheltered neck

Yes I know I have to change your pack

But I won’t risk it till your mummy comes back

You can coo all you want now that your fed

Well I’m not playing for I’m off to bed

All right then I’ll sing to you the books I read

It’s all double Dutch stuff stuck in my head

Promise me you will go off to sleep

And I’ll read again little boo peep

When you are bigger I’ll write poems for you to keep

Some light hearted not to deep
