I always think of you as a mum,
The food you give me always tastes yum.
You never make me suffer.
The things you give me make me tuffer.
You treat me and my brother the very same,
You never call us a horrible name.

Everything you say to me is always isn't catastrophe.
Remember this little thing....
I'll try and bring you anything I can bring.
I will never forget you as long as you never make me stew.
I will do anything for you!

My daughter's nursery class visited the local Fire Station.
"What do you do if your clothes are on fire?" asked a fireman
My daughter replied - "Wear something else"
