An Ode to Valentine's Day

Valentine's is here again,
And love is in the air,
There's gifts exchanged of chocolate
And flowers and underwear
And soppy cards, with romantic rhymes, 
That detail endless love,
To darling partners everywhere,
Alleged angels from above,
But let's be honest, things really change
When children come along,
It's a different romance that us mums need
A change from the familiar song
Of "Mammy mammy where are you,
I spilt my juice on the floor,
Please wipe my bum, and find my shoes
Oh mammy my knee is sore!
I need new pencils by tomorrow
My viking project is due
We need to bake cakes for Friday's sale
And I've run out of all my glue
I've had a bad dream, can I sleep in your bed?
Oh now I need a drink,
Mammy quick, the fairy won't come
My tooth's fallen down the sink!"
So darling partners everywhere,
In this romantic season,
Just think of how you can show your love,
For no particular reason,
And see to the kids when they are calling
And let their mammy sleep,
Clean all the bums, and do the projects
And you'll be one to keep.
And even if you're a hero already
And everything is fine
Buy something special to treat your dearest
A practical gift, like wine!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone ❤❤ Jen.x
