Out of spite for the wellies and Ellies,
That’s why we’re not
Going to the party!
Mothers are really stupid
Selfish and unkind sometimes
With no reason at all except
That they don’t like the people
Who will be there, That’s why
I am writing this protest poem.
Why not? I ask myself
It wouldn’t do any harm
Anyway. It would probably
Do more good really. Because
No one (except mothers) would
Be unhappy.
It will be a rotten weekend
If we can’t go.
Fathers wouldn’t mind so
Maybe we can talk some
Sense into him.
I must tell little E
So that she really gets unhappy
And makes the most happy
Miserable weekend ever.
