Message From School
‘Mummy, Mummy, school today says we must wear fancy dress’
Blood pressure rising, hardly surprising:
Message from school always causes home stress.
Football matches, Christmas play, jumble sale and bake-a-cake,
Blood pressure rising, hardly surprising,
Message from school always causes headache.
Homework schedules, exam days, Parents’ evening, school report,
Blood pressure rising, hardly surprising:
Message from school always leaves someone fraught.
Can you tell us why your child did not come to school today?
Blood pressure rising, hardly surprising:
Message from school always causes dismay.
Uniform knocks, hope releases stricken grip on empty straw
Gorge is rising, tears spill, eyes dim.
Messages come from school no more.

Not the ending I was expecting, Yvonne. Sometimes we don't realise how lucky we are to have a bunch of small stresses; the alternative could be far more terrible.
You should try puttng your stuff to audio files.
