Toddler Tears

Here I lie

On the floor in the centre of town

Tantrum time

In croc’dile tears I slowly drown

Not going home

My mum won’t leave me on my own

I’m really good at tantruming,

tantruming, saying ‘no’

saying ‘no’

 

Toddler tears…

Changing the ring tone

On my mum’s phone it’s

Toddler tears…

No appliance’s safe, whilst

I’m in the place and I’ll

Run round nude

Wearing only a smile and

Rub my willy with food

 

Toddler tears…

When I lose control

All my toys I’ll throw, it’s

Toddler tears…

I’ll stand still and pout, ’til

I’m rugby-balled out and

People stare

My mum’s in a rush but

I really don’t care

 

Night and day

There’s a yearning to

cause mess and noise

Turn modem off

When to publish post mum’s

finger’s poised

Here I go

I’ll throw myself down on the floor

I’m really good at tantruming,

tantruming, saying ‘no’

saying ‘no’

 

Toddler tears…

I want sweets for lunch

and my mum won’t budge it’s

toddler tears…

Won’t sit down and eat

But still expect a treat, I’ll

act all shy and coy

Then when no-one is watching

I’ll hide the dog’s toys

 

Toddler tears…

When I lose control

In Asda’s aisle I crawl it’s

Mummy’s tears…

When I bounce on beds

And fall on my head it’s

Easy to see

Why mummy’s a drinker

Since she has had me

 

Toddler tears…

When all else fails

Arms and legs I’ll flail it’s

Toddler tears…

I don’t care where we are

Restaurant or in the car I’ll

Score extra points

If I spill a drink and

The staff it anoints

 

Toddler tears…

I run out of sight, and

Give my mum a fright, it’s

Toddler tears…

I wind my brothers up

And traumatise the pup, it’s

Hard to bear

But it’s just what you do

When you are a toddler 😉
