Array ( [sid] => 122826 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Welcome to My Shoe [time] => 2006-07-06 12:30:24 [hometext] => Some times I really do feel like the Old Woman in the shoe. This is written for those days. [bodytext] =>

Welcome to my shoe!
Come in and have some tea.
I’m happy that you’re here,
Adults, I seldom see.

Yes, many children live here,
It keeps me busy all day.
I lost count last time I tried,
And another’s on the way.

My shoe is very messy;
There are drawings on the walls.
Splatters over the floors;
I just can’t keep up at all.

I could take up spanking,
But my arm would soon be tired.
I find it so much easier
To let them all run wild.

There are days that I envy
Families with two or three.
Even childless couples
Sometimes appeal to me.

But my life is a choice I made,
And I’m happy with what I do.
So come have some tea with me,
And welcome to my shoe!

Welcome to My Shoe

I’m happy that you’re here,
Adults, I seldom see.

And another’s on the way.

My shoe is very messy;
There are drawings on the walls.
Splatters over the floors;

But my arm would soon be tired.

But my life is a choice I made,
And I’m happy with what I do.
So come have some tea with me,
And welcome to my shoe!

The "read between the lines" of this write is the pride you have for, eventhough hectic, your wonderful family. And isn't "let them all run wild" letting children be children before they're tossed early into the "real" world? Really enjoyed this fun and lighthearted write.
