Tuesday Poem - Mrs Mummy Teacher

Mrs Mummy Teacher staggers out of bed
Her pupils are already wide awake

Mrs Mummy Teacher contemplates her morning routine
Her pupils have already trashed the 'classroom'

Mrs Mummy Teacher makes her breakfast
Her pupils are on the prowl for seconds and thirds

Mrs Mummy Teacher prints out her worksheets
Her pupils have somehow killed the printer

Mrs Mummy Teacher asks the class to settle down
Her pupils say no, don't want to and humph

Mrs Mummy Teacher dreams about school runs in the rain
Her pupils refuse to logon to their schoolwork

Mrs Mummy Teacher survives the first lesson
Her pupils cover the 'classroom' floor in lego

Mrs Mummy Teacher learns powerful negotiation skills
Her pupils dry their eyes

Mrs Mummy Teacher changes clothes to Mrs Mummy Dinner Lady
Her pupils turn their nose up at lunch

Mrs Mummy Teacher finally has a cup of tea
Her pupils spread crumbs across the 'classroom'

Mrs Mummy Teacher girds her loins for afternoon school
Her pupils do maths

Mrs Mummy Teacher pours herself a glass of sherry
Her pupils eat an entire chocolate selection box

A successful return to homeschool!
