This Mother Hubbard

This Mother Hubbard

Went to her Cubbard

To feed her poor kids some lunch

But When she got there

The Cubbard was bare

It's Grocery Time for this bunch!

Yet This Mother Hubbard

Clips coupons and saves

Shops frugally and still can't afford

The food that we need

With 8 mouths to feed

It's becoming too much of a chore

So this Mother Hubbard

Will find work of some other

At nights when her hubby is home

Then one day Mother Hubbard

Will buy milk, bread and butter

And perhaps buy the doggy a bone!

Queen of my Castle

If I were the queen of my castle
The first order of business would be

That all decisions would be mine to make
Or at least have to pass through me

If I were the queen of my castle
Everyone would do their share

Whether it be taking out trash and recycle
or at least cleaning up their shaved hair

If I were the queen of my castle
they’d ask “anything else before I go?”

I could wave them through if they’re worthy
or I’d ask them to do one more chore

If I were the queen of my castle
The food I buy would never disappear

And if anyone would like to eat something
They’d at least TRY to bring more food here

If I were the queen of my castle
Jim- my king, would support every wish

And everyone would keep a clean kitchen
and not expect ME to clean every dish

If I were the queen of my castle
I’d be greeted each day of some kind

And then maybe the king or the princes
would ask me to speak my own mind

If I were the queen of my castle
I’d never have to yell, scream or shout

But it’s because I’m not even a princess
I just watch kids, clean all day and then pout

If I were the queen of my castle
I’d be lovely and beautifully GREAT

But because I am stuck with just wishing
'Requesting' would just lead to debate
