Mar 2013
He's playing the harmonica,
Drums and cymbals too,
An accordion between his hands,
Bells upon each shoe.

He entertains the passers-by,
Coins land in his cap,
They gasp to see so many things,
Done by just one chap.

A mother watches, unimpressed,
I think with good cause.
For though she's doing more than him,
She gets no applause.
Dedicated to mothers everywhere!

(Apologies to those who have seen this before, but I thought I should re-post it for Mothering Sunday.)
