Babysitting Blues

During mummy’s historic mission,

She had to say goodbye

Lady Penelope left me at the Tracy’s,

And away to Madrid she’d fly

But there was plenty of room for

Puzzles

Games

Stories

Baking

Cuddles

Love

Hugs

Snuggles

Pillow fights

Raiding the fridge

Outsmarting the brothers

Making fun of the others

Swimming in the pool

Games of tag

Hide and seek

Being held…

Ah…

Being held.

The most soothing words I’ve heard.

Tin Tin tucks me into bed

And kisses me goodnight

She exits the room just then

And shuts off the light

And then that night I wake up

To find Jeff Tracy with a look of love

Sitting on the side of Tin Tin’s bed

With dreamy thoughts in my head

I snuggle next to him as he says:

“Tomorrow I know what will happen next.

Lady Penelope, the mummy you’ve known,

Is going to fly here and take you home.”

“You’re the best mummy ever, your ladyship!”
