DINNER'S ON THE TABLE by Margaret Field
Your dinner's on the table love. The pots and pans scrubbed clean.
The hoovering's done, the dusting too. Even the coalman's been.
Your dinner's on the table love. Washing and ironing done.
I've changed the beds, and scrubbed the floor, the battle of dirt's been won.
Your dinner's on the table love. The larder is now full.
I've painted the walls,and ceilings too, and picked the kids up from school.
Your dinner's on the table love. The windows and mirrors they shine.
The kids are bathed, scrubbed up like new, and the garden's looking just fine.
Your dinner's on the table love, I've spent all day on this grub.
My day is done for all of you.
And now I'm off to the pub.





Remember always that you have not only the right to be an individual: you have an obligation to be one. You cannot make any useful contribution in Life unless you do this.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) from "You Learn by Living".

...AS ONE GOES THROUGH LIFE ONE LEARNS THAT IF YOU DON'T PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE, YOU DON'T MOVE.
Katharine Hepburn, b. 1909


If you think you're too small to
have an impact, try going to bed
with a mosquito.
