A is for Alicia

 

A is for Alicia

Alicia is all spotty

Neisha is dotty

Mummy is grotty

Driving poor daddy potty

We’ve got the calamine lotion all cold and sticky

It’s on the bathroom shelf for when we feel icky

Smothered our skin and covered ourselves in cotton

Our pyjamas are clean with great big buttons.

Cuddling up on the sofa all poorly together

‘Cos we’re feeling under the weather

Let’s watch a DVD and have a snooze

We have no energy left to choose

So we want to get better really soon

We have to have patience this afternoon

And all next week to stay off school

So it’s feet up on the footstool

But poor mummy has to go to work

And wishes she had a cork

To stuff up people’s noses

To stop that horrible snorting that encloses

The whole compartment and follows the train

From home to work and back again.
