There was nothing much to do…
One was sitting on a bench,
Some was saying words in French,
One was looking at the street,
Tom was shaking his long feet,
John was singing a nice song
Dear Boris struck the gong.
When the evening slowly drew
There was nothing much to do.
Meg was sitting on a fence,
Bob was showing new pence,
When the boy who was so fat said,
Just like that: I have a nail in my pocket.
-On the Moon, we’ll launch the rocket.
-Our cat had swallowed a rat,
Have you heard about that?
-We are having guests today,
Someone said without delay.
From the window in my street
I can see The British fleet.
-And my mom is going to fly,
As she wants to conquer the sky.
She is called a pilot,
Would you like to try it?
-And we’ve bought a reddish ball,
And we used it just for all.
And my mommy is a cop,
She’s the best in riding crop.
Everyone would like to hear
If the mom is an engineer.
Mary’s mother was a tailor,
Betty’s mommy was a sailor.
When your mom is cooking
Happy we are looking.
When your mom treats
No illness child meets.
Your mom can be a teacher,
Your knowledge can be richer.
Different moms are important
If her profession is constant.
When the evening slowly drew
There was nothing much to do…

wow this goes at quite a pace and has an excellent feel to it in as much as it is almost it little like a cross between a nursery rhyme and Peter Gabriel's games without frontiers
Love it
