It was my favorite after I had my daughter.<br /><br />Babies Don’t Keep<br />by Ruth Hulburt Hamilton<br /><br />Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,<br />Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,<br />Hang out the washing, make up the bed,<br />Sew on a button and butter the bread.<br /><br />Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?<br />She’s up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.<br /><br />Oh, I’ve grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,<br />Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.<br />Dishes are waiting and bills are past due<br />Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo<br /><br />The shopping’s not done and there’s nothing for stew<br />And out in the yard there’s a hullabaloo<br />But I’m playing Kanga and this is my Roo<br />Look! Aren’t his eyes the most wonderful hue?<br />Lullabye, rockaby lullabye loo.<br /><br />The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow<br />But children grow up as I’ve learned to my sorrow.<br />So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!<br />I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054292718090534327noreply@blogger.com
