Robert W Service - SusieRobert W Service - Susie
Work rating: Low


My daughter Susie, aged two,     Apes me in every way, For as my household chores I do     With brooms she loves to play. A scrubbing brush to her is dear;     Ah! Though my soul it vex, My bunch of cuteness has, I fear,          Kitchen complex. My dream was that she might go far,     And play or sing or dance; Aye, even be a movie star     Of glamour and romance. But no more with such hope I think,     For now her fondest wish is To draw a chair up to the sink          And wash the dishes. Yet when you put it to a test     In ups and downs of life, A maiden`s mission may be best     To make a good house-wife; To bake, to cook, to knit, to lave:     And so I pray that Sue Will keep a happy hearth and have          A baby too.
