I am not a mother, It's seemed to pass me by, One day I was thirty, Now I'm over forty five, I always wanted children, A little friend to call me Mum, But fate did not want that of me, So sadly, I have none. Friends envy me my quiet life, Where lay-ins are the law, Not realising how much I'd give, To have someone to get up for, I think I've worked out life's great plan, Mapped out from skies above, Why just have your own few kids, When there's loads there you can love.
