Tell-Tale Fingerprints
Hush-a-bye … don’t cry darling.
I bustle, scrubbing caked baked bean sauce from last night’s plates packed into the sink.
Baby’s still wailing.
The ironing tower tumbles onto paw-printed floor mop’s mislaid -- I must spick and span my domain.
Baby’s howling now. Perhaps it’s a virus … I must contact help line,
but first I’ll clean the windows, in case yesterday’s fingerprints are spotted … clear spiders from their webs.
Stop shrieking baby! I’ve no time for your games.
Damn your big baby eyes! I can’t resist sneaking a peak at your face any longer.
I’ll check security … messages … Face Book.
Aaaw! … Mama loves to play games with her baby.

Baby’s crying.
Busy hands scrub caked baked bean sauce from last night’s dishes cramming the sink.
Hush baby … don’t cry.
The ironing tower tumbles onto paw-printed floor mop’s mislaid -- I must clean up my domain.
Oh baby’s still crying. Is it a virus? … I’ll contact help line,
but first I’ll clean the windows, in case yesterday’s fingerprints are spotted; clear the spiders from their webs.
Oh stop crying baby! I’ve no time for your games.
Damn big baby eyes! I can’t resist a peep at your face any longer.
I’ll check security … messages … Face Book … games.
Mmm ... Mama loves to play with her baby.
