I have just come across the following wonderful poem here – and it seems so appropriate for this blog.
From “from The State of Poetry by Roger McGough”
Children’s Writer
John in the garden
Playing goodies and baddies
Janet in the bedroom
Playing mummies and daddies
Mummy in the kitchen
Washing and wiping
Daddy in the study
Stereotyping
Thanks for linking to me 🙂
Its quite a shocking poem, in a way.
It's like, at first, what it's saying is all right and normal, but then just points out the perversity of it.
Cheers, Philip
found you because I was looking for "what to look for in spring". as a child I had loads of Ladybird books and I think a fair number are still at my mother's house. I had forgotton just how many there were.
