Dear Mummy

Dear Mummy,
Oh, why did you send me here, Mummy?
It was so much better at home, Mummy
You have to do lessons all day, Mummy
And you hardly get any TV

Oh, and the other kids hate me, Mummy
And the teachers don't want me to talk, Mummy
I've got hours and hours of homework, Mummy
That I really don't want to do

Oh, and the food is so awful, Mummy
I have to eat all of my vegetables, Mummy
And I only get yucky deserts, Mummy
And the tuck shop has got a long queue

Oh, and it's lights out at eight, Mummy
And I can't have evening hot chocolate, Mummy
I wrote till my finger had a lump on it, Mummy
And my pillow's got a lump in it too

Oh, and the cross country's terrible, Mummy
I'm not even allowed to walk it, Mummy
I have to go out when It's rainy, Mummy
And get freezing cold and wet through

So why can't I come back home, Mummy?
The teachers want me to go too, Mummy
And I'd be a really good girl, Mummy
At least, for a day or two
