Tidyin' up the hoose.
a kids poem
***
Ah kidnae sit anymaire oan ma dowp,
the hoose wis fair in a cowp
sae oaf the seatee ah did lowp
an it the lote e midden ah did gowp.
Ah didnae ken whaur tae start
It wis a richt gey clart!
In the kitchen gote ma haunds intae the microwave
gied it a dicht wi a cloathe
ye kid tell it was aften yuist
It wis howfin ,naw far awa fae foost.
The living room ornaments oan the mantelpiece
widnae gie ye peace
-wir cawin ye tak tent
wid be an oour weill spent.
It'd need aw yer elbae pouer
it wis covered ower
wi muckle stoor.
The windaes wir touched wi merks e fingernebs
licht and scoured ,fast as the nile by ancient Thebes.
gaun git the boatle e skoosh
an gie the gless a fricht wi the whoosh.
"Ah hink that'll dae
ah dey ken aboot you bit ah'm fair puggled
an fushionless grey."
"We'll sit doon an huv tea"
"Ye wantin' pieces?"
didnae fancy onyhin fer me.
