Please Mrs Butler

This is an imitation of the poem Please Mrs.Butler by Allan Ahlberg

Please Mrs.Butler

This boy Jimmy Spew

Keeps tugging on my hair, Miss
What shall I do?

Go and cut it off dear

Tuck it in your dress

Wear on a wig my love

But don’t get me stressed

Please Mrs.Butler

This boy Jimmy Spew

Keeps gobbling all my food, Miss

What shall I do?

Eat up all his food my child

Or throw it in the bin

Starve him all day long

So he’ll grow very thin

Please Mrs.Butler

This boy Jimmy Spew

Keeps copying what I say, Miss

What shall I do?

Don’t say anything, dear

Or kick him in his knee

Do whatever you think love

But stop telling me.
