So quietly

I am sitting here ever so quietly

Cause Aunt Mary, is coming to tea

And Mummy has run out of hours and hands

Keeping the dirt off-a me

My knees have been scrubbed, with a loofa!

My fingers, she's soaked till they crink

My worm-house is forbade to the garden

My soil food she's swilled down the sink!

I dare'nt move cause I'm hiding a secret

Under my marshmallow-pink party-dress

I'm frowning each time that she glances

If I smile she'll see cause to confess

My plan is to sit here forever!!

If I move I 'm in trouble for-sure

She's swished mud potatoes and carrots

But I rescued the pie by the door
