Sometimes I am Mrs. Biddlebox



"On a knotty little hill,

In a dreary little funk,

Mrs. Biddlebox rolled over


On the wrong side of her bunk




The birds gave her a headache.
There were creakies in her chair.
A breeze blew dank and dreary
And mussied up her hair.

So she slammed the door on morning!
And sat thinking what to do.
Her tea was dark and bitter,
Her crumpets hard to chew.

With her belly full of grumblies
And her hands upon her hips,
An idea burst inside her
And whizzled from her lips!

I will cook this rotten morning!
I will turn it into cake!
I will fire up my oven!
I will set the day to bake!


I love this book. Of course she eats the whole cake, Mrs. Biddlebox is my kinda girl. It was written by a woman who had cancer. I've never had cancer, but sometimes I definitely feel like this...maybe today :) I need a nap
