Children In The Tower
By Yvonne Hall, from Charminster, Dorset.
Whatever's all the fuss about?
Children in the tower?
Whatever next I ask myself - 
They should have seen my shower!
When I was head of Damers First
We had 400 strong.
We never let them bother us -
Well, not for very long!
There are ways to deal with children,
Just hark to what I say,
And all the troubles that you have
Will soon be whisked away!
You could hoist one on the spider'
Hang one on a peg,
Stick young Billy in the font -
Use the table leg.
Bung one on the window ledge
High up in the wall,
And threaten him with death
If he shoulld wriggle there - or fall!
Strap one in a high chair,
Give him the tower keys;
Pop one in the waste bin
Upside - down - to tease,
Kate can have her youngster
Slung across her back,
While rope, and gag, and clapper
Will take care of little Jack!
Doug has his pet theory -
Spoil the child, and spare the rod
Well, Bill can use his foot
To curb that little bod.
Tom and Sal lcan manage Ben
Just jam him in between -
With hand on mouth and foot on foot,
You'll never hear him scream.
And as for little Mary,
Just hang her from the rail,
With Sally for a cradle
And a dog that wags it's tail.
Whatever's all the fuss about?
When all is said and done
If you use your initiative
Children can be fun!!!!
