Being a parent is a joy, a blessing a priveledge. It can also be very stinky smelly and tiring obviously in the best way possible. One areas where there is most apparent is bath time. This song details one of the fundamental challenges we most all surely face as parents at some time. I hope you like it and I know see the genuine need for a nail brush. Good luck with your own bathtime battles.
All the best
The MC Wrapper
I’m the
middle class wrapper
And I’m back
from before
My biggest
gig was in a Scout Hut
Not exactly
a successful
World Tour
But I’m
tackling the issues
That vex us
day to day
Forgot to
wash PE kit,
A mile of
traffic in your way,
The daily
grind of a school run
can put you
in a twirl
Fuel light
on, kids demanding a song, cd skipping like a school girl,
let’s turn
our attention,
To when you’re
getting them to bed,
hanging by
your finger nails
Cebeebies
jingle in your head,
Favourite
toy of the moment,
Some animals
from the farm,
You test the
water with your eyelids
So you won’t
scold your arm,
Your child
is singing and a splashing,
Relaxed enough
to smile and laugh,
Then your
smile turns to horror,
Someone’s
poohing in the bath,
They so need
a hair wash,
Triple
sweaty from soft play,
Rolled in
something on the school trip,
That changed
the colour of the hay,
Their diet
is largely biscuits
So you might
just be in luck
It has a
beak of sweetcorn
Like a
stinky chocolate duck,
You whip
them out before they notice,
A secret you
need to keep,
The only
casualty a flannel,
And several
plastic sheep,
If word of
this escapes the bathroom,
Then you’ll
fear for your life
clean the room
at story time
And don’t
inform the wife,
Quick quick remove
the evidence
Wash the
taps, bath and rails
Exhibit A
from your hands
Someone else's pooh under your nails
It’s not
sterilizing bottles
It’s a
pretty minging task
If they weren’t
such a part of you
It would be way
too big an ask
These nights
are ones to savour
One night in
your future
They might be
returning the favour
When the end
of day gets crappy
Don’t gnash
your teeth just laugh
That’s how
MC Wrapper rolls
When
scooping pooh out the bath
