A Dad’s work is never done …! (IP)

Come the rain, son, I’ll mend your train,
come the rain, Ma, I’ll try again
to fix those shelves, and mend that hole,
find a place to store your kitchen coal …
’Til the rain come, I must press on
there’s jobs outside just waiting to be done
– can’t do that work in rain, it’d spoil –
come the rain, I’ll rest with different toil!

Nice one,

Busy old Dad. When it's fine
Busy old Dad. When it's fine he's outside working on the parsnip bed. Come the rain, everyone's given him their list of must-do jobs!
This poem would work well in a childrens' anthology with good illustrations. Elsie

Really enjoyed this, Rhiannon
Really enjoyed this, Rhiannon, and has been said, a really original take on the IP.
My other half is outside planting potatoes as I speak. He says he'll fix the blocked sink...later, if it rains;-) Think I'll do it myself....but, on second thoughts, perhaps not;-)

So did I, Rhiannonw. I wish I could be on here more often, but at the moment not much time. Everything seems to take so much longer than I have time for.
Have a lovely Christmas
