my life by daisy

daddy is a doctor
my mummy is a nurse
when no one is watching
i take money from her purse

monday is for jump rope
we like to scream and shout
if amanda beats me
i rip her black hair out

tuesday is our art day
we do it oh so well
some draw trees and butterflies
i paint the hounds of hell

wednesday is for swimming
it always makes me frown
they teach us how to paddle
but id like to watch them drown

thursday is for dress-ups
amanda tries the most
shes a pretty princess
im a headless ghost

friday say goodbye to friends
and another week of school
but first i like to find joe m
and beat him with a stool

saturday was my birthday
they gave me 2 small kittens
their tails were too long
so i made them into mittens

sunday is for praying
the priest gave me a book
i tore it into pieces
not giving it a look

daddy is a doctor
my mummy is a nurse
they tell me im the devil
i like to think im worse

Very cute. It would be way too cool if you wrote a verse for every day of the week. Just a thought. . .maybe transpose verses 2 and 3 so that the days of the week are in a natural order. I agree with Parchment, that you should drop "without" and use "not". . .I would think that a child would learn "not" before saying "without." Sweet!

I know what you mean Janet. I had to keep in mind the language of a child and I didn't want the rhythm to be too "perfect". But I can see your suggestion would still fit inside a child's vocab. I'll think on that. Thanks a lot.

well done
sounds like a strong willed child
the line about the book
you could change one word and keep the rhythm
drop without and add not
thanks for sharing
