We must agree on what is important.
Working together we’ll achieve much;
with your wages and mine the family
will thrive. As one door opens, another

Be quiet. It’s up to them. Leave the soap.
This water is very cold. Leave the towel.
It’s up to the children to sing, up to you
to bless. Who will do the formal speech?
What would you like? Want a cup of tea?
A drink? Would you like a feed? Meat?
Where are the kids? Pass me the bread.
Thanks. Hey, sit up properly. Pass the salt.
We should wait for your Mum. Slowly she
climbs, rests, breathes. Be careful! Who is
the girl eating the bears’s porridge? Decide.
