Shelia Curran
Dear Reader,
Forget the Partridge, Lose the Pear Tree, A Mom's Wish List
Sung to the tune of the final verse of The Twelve Days of Christmas
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true loves gave to me:
TWELVE things I've done right,
ELEVEN towels hung up,
TEN pairs of socks clean,
NINE peaceful car rides,
EIGHT dinners waiting,
SEVEN counters wiped down,
SIX moments silent,
FIVE . . ."I love you"s
FOUR beds with sheets changed,
THREE bathtubs gleaming,
TWO vacuumed floors and
A fresh roll of tissue on its thing-ee.
Sheila Curran's DIANA LIVELY IS FALLING DOWN, a comic novel for mothers who think, or those who vow to think, as soon as they find the time, has entered its second printing, thanks to thousands of gentle readers like you. (BOOKLIST starred review "....this is a gem.") Penguin USA, 2005
