Temper Tantrums at Halloween
BABY
Mummy tells me, “It’s Halloween today,”
But she also says, “I’m way too young to go”.
Well, I’m afraid I’ll have to display
My worst ever monster act – and so
By frightening her I’ll snarl, scream and shout,
Wave my long, ugly tentacles about,
Stamp my big, scary claws in protest
And I’ll try to do my very best
To make her change her mind – oh dear!
Hmm, no chance of that then, I fear.
MOTHER
Oh no, not again – another paddy,
Pack it in now or I’ll tell your daddy.
