Can Of Worms |
She was married and then divorced |
Things seemed to happen that way |
The children were confused, sometimes they’d fight |
Sitting in their toys and games |
To them she’s mummy and I am their friend |
Who sits with them on his lap |
And sleeps on the sofa on alternate weekends |
No substitute for their dad |
She’s a very good mum |
As she tries to explain |
Everything that she can |
But a child’s mind is sharp |
They imagine the worst |
Sometimes can’t understand |
That there’s so much to learn |
When you open a can of worms |
So to the park to play on the swings |
To give their mother a break |
When I saw their father walking down the path |
Heading down towards the gate |
I froze on the spot, heart in my throat |
I hoped he’d not see us there |
He soon disappeared and the kids on the slide |
Were happy and unaware |
I read the papers and made scrambled eggs |
The kids got ready to leave |
Their dad was taking them for the weekend |
With pocket money and sweets |
They were excited as they waved goodbye |
And I went straight back to bed |
Their mother stood and waved as they drove away |
Standing on the front door step |
