SUNDAY MORNING By Billie Cullimore Daddy works Saturday night And Sunday sleeps all day. Mommy goes to church with Mike. So that's the time I play. They wake me up at seven Getting ready for their spree. I know I'll have to stay at home So I wait patiently. Mom lays me down with Daddy. I wave goodby to Mike. She figures I'll go back to sleep. And things will be alright. As soon as they are out of sight. Then I hop on the floor. Now's my chance to do the things I could not have done before. I tip toe in the kitchen Just as quiet as a mouse. Boy! There's lots to do and see When you're all alone in a house. First I'll raid the ice box The I'll wash the sink. I wonder if the gold fish, Like tomatoes, what do you think? I'll mix the salt with sugar The cupboard I'll explore. I was playing with pots and pans When powdered soap got on the floor. I'll cut my pretty curls off So I'll be daddies boy. You know that new radio? It was a lovely toy. I'll use up mommies powder. Peanut butter in her cream. I'll paint with bright red lipstick, Our new drapes, that once were green. I'll forget to use the potty, There's a puddle on the floor. The telephone is off the hook, It was an awful bore. By now I'm getting tired. It;s been a long, long day. I wonder as I look around Just what will Mommy say? So, I'll lay down with Daddy. I wont make a peep. And when Mommy gasp with horror, Daddy will say, "She's been asleep." Believe this or not, this is a true story, she was two, she is now a grandmother. I wrote this poem many years ago. B.C. |

Too cute. I had a friend with a daughter just like this. Up on the counters she would crawl and open all the cupboard doors. Out would come the sugar,flour and what ever else she could find. LOL latearrival |

Oh, gosh, yes this little cutiepie had fun! And you brought smiles with your lovely poetic record of her deeds, dear Billie. Thank you! Of course for mommie it wasn't all that fun at the time to clean up the mess! But it makes for vivid and cherished memories. Love, Margherita  |

This is a really cute poem. I am glad I was never that bad when I was a child. (giggles) Girls are always the worst for getting in trouble..... Tracey |
