Mother's Day

A Magpie Tale

Giggling along the way,
they tiptoe with a laden tray.
Surprise!  Breakfast in bed,
the quintessential treat for mums.

Crispy toast and scrambled eggs,
they balance on her nightgowned legs.
Good deed done, away they run,
and leave her with the crumbs.

    Very cute - particularly straight after reading No. 64 - Martin's steamy piece. Does that happen often in your house - never in mine sadly.

    Actually, I had to imagine this one. My guys are more likely to cook dinner for me. But they are still sweet, just like all your comments. Thanks!
