An Evening with the Adkinses (a Rhyme in Progress)

Mama makes dinner
Baby screams
Mama feeds baby
Baby dreams

Children clean room
Children fight
G hits S,
In plain sight

Time-out

Lose their snack
Kids cry
Dinner time (kids come back)

G still cries
G won't eat
G sent to room
S out of seat

S takes bite
Baby cries
Mama gets baby
G and S, leave pot pies

Cat finds pies
Cat eats food
Mama finds cat,
Mama in a mood


Mama cleans kids
Baby screams
Mama feeds baby
Baby dreams

Mama puts pjs on
Kids run
Kids collide
Screaming ruins all the fun

Bloody tooth
Daddy awake
Daddy unhappy
Lots of ice, for S's sake

G to bed
G mad
T.V. on for S,
Bleeding and sad

S to bed
Find wet surprise-
Soaked t.p. roll
Kids won't close eyes

Kids fuss
Mama cracks
Baby awake
Mama eats kids' snacks
