I haven’t had much time for creative writing recently – the launch of ‘What I’m Writing‘ (my new linky) on Tuesday has been pretty much my sole writing focus!
So for #Prose4T today I thought I would share a piece of silliness that I wrote over the summer. I spent pretty much all my time entertaining three kids. It may or may not have been inspired by them:
I WILL not move
I’m here to stay
I’m sitting on
This couch ALL DAY!
I WILL not m-
What’s that you say?
A giant, gooey
Fudge sundae?
For me if I
Go out and play?
Well, I guess
That sounds okay
… since…
I was going anyway!
Of course I would never bribe any of my children. Nope. Not me.
(Well, not with a fudge sundae anyway – far too messy.)
Awesome as always lovely lady! Bribery rules supreme in my house

Thanks! It’s a useful parenting tool isn’t it?
Ha! This made me smile…. I so know that sat-on-the-sofa-I-don’t-want-to-budge feeling! X
So do I! Thanks for commenting Sadie. x
Brilliant! Love this poem
Thanks Louise!

Potato is 2 1/4 and I’m beginning to have to try and resist the temptation to bribe him. I don’t always succeed
Sometimes bribery is the only way but shhhhh don’t tell anyone I said that!
This scenario sounds strangely familiar!…
One familiar to all mothers I think!
Haha. Id di read this when you first posted it and laughed then too. DO IT FOR THE SUNDAE! (If that’s all it takes to persude you…) x
I quite fancy a sundae now if someone would only make one for me!
Hahaha! This is brilliant – and SO very true of my daughter (not that I bribe her either
). Thank you for linking to Prose for Thought

Thanks Victoria! of course you would never bribe your daughter. None of us would EVER bribe our kids. tee hee.
