1.My Darling

 

Darling, come and sit on Daddy’s knee

I need to have a little talk with you.

You know you had that surprise sleepover,

At Aunt Aggie’s last night?

 

Well, that was because

Daddy had to rush to the hospital,

Because Mummy had a bad accident in her car

Coming home last night.

 

Is she alright now?

No, I’m afraid not my darling

The doctors said it was better

If she never woke up and went to heaven instead.

 

Did it hurt her?

No, darling, I don’t think she was hurting.

Is it OK to cry?

Of course it is darling.

I may even join you,

We can have a cry together

Just you and me.

 

Can you still think about Mummy?

Well, of course you can my darling.

In fact, every morning when you wake up

You should say hello to her, tell her you love her.

 

 

I’m pretty sure she’ll be listening, up there in heaven.

And at night, if you’re feeling scared

Look out of your bedroom window

At all those millions of twinkling stars above.

One of those will be Mummy, looking down

Making sure you’re safe.

 

Who will read you a story, tuck you in,

Kiss your head and say Goodnight?

Well, my darling, I guess it won’t be exactly the same,

But I’ll be doing that from now on.

 

Will I be getting you a new Mummy?

No my darling, you’ll only ever have one Mummy.

The one you knew and love so much,

For as long as you live.

 

Who is going to make your lunch-box

And take you to school?

Well, my darling, I think I’ll be doing that from now on.

What do you like in your sandwiches?

 

What do you tell your friends at school?

Well, my darling, just say Mummy had a bad accident

But it didn’t hurt and now she’s gone to a happy place

And that, at night, you can see her.

She’s the third star to the right

When you look out of your bedroom window.

 

 

 

Who will cook your favourite tea?

Well, Daddy will have a go.

But it might not carry on,

Being your favourite.

 

You’re going to miss Mummy?

Well, that’s ok my darling

You’re allowed to do that.

I pulled my little darling close, held her tight.

Oh my precious, precious little darling

I know, I know, for I will too.

 

2.Shopping

 

Was doing some window shopping

As you do

On a quiet Sunday

Before you get your monthly pay

 

And then there she was

Completely stark bollock-naked!

Well, you know what I mean

For it was a She that I seen

 

She had a great figure

A lovely, healthy skin-tone

Although, not much hair

But, if I had to guess, it would be fair

 

Should I look and stare?

Or modestly avert my eyes?

Would looking be a major sin?

After all, she’s just a mannequin
