My mum has always lots to do - To shop, to cook, to wash up, too. She does the laundry every day. She has no time to laugh and play. But when she calls aunt Polly, They share something jolly. They talk about the smartest clothes, And how to cure a runny nose, What film to watch and where to jog, Discuss the neighbours' smelly dog.. My dad, well, had a little shock When found for lunch a peppered sock! Mum dropped the phone as he enquired: 'Where is the chicken you have fried?' We saw it in the washer spin. I thought it must be fresh and clean! Now if mum calls aunt Polly, She'll tell her something jolly!
