Mother's Day

“It’s Mother’s Day--let Mommy sleep!”

Well, that’s what Daddy said.

But while she counted all her sheep,

I made breakfast in bed!

I cracked two eggs all by myself,

I stirred them into flour.

I got some sugar from the shelf,

For Super Sweetness Power!

I mixed up all the batter,

And I shook the sugar shaker.

I got the blue step-ladder

And got down the waffle maker.

I burned the first one, then one more,

But then I burned them less.

I squeezed an orange from the drawer

And made some juice . . . I guess.

I cut up some bananas

With my ninja-like technique.

I used that plate from Nana’s--

I was careful--it’s antique!

And now it’s time to shout out loud

And show her what I’ve done!

Oh, Mom will be so very proud

Of me, her honey-bun!

I’ll cry out “Happy Mother’s Day!”

She’ll hug me while she eats!

I made breakfast in bed!  Hooray!

Now someone change my sheets!
