Dear Mum
While you were out
a cup went and broke itself
A crack appeared in the blue vase
your great-great granddad
brought back from China.
Somehow,without me even turning on the tap
the sink mysteriously overflowed.
A strange jam strain
about the size of a boy's hand
appeared on the kitchen wall.
I don't think we'll ever discover
exactly how the cat
managed to turn on the washing machine
(especially from the inside)
or how the self-raising flour
managed to self-raise.
I can tell you I was scared when,
as if by magic,
a series of muddy footprints
appeared on the new white carpet.
I was being good(honest)
but I think the house is haunted.
So,knowing you're going to have a fit.
I've gone over to gran's for a bit.
