Brother and Sisters

 

eight years old

up early

washed and dressed

6 brothers lined up at

the sink

face and hand washed

Bryll Cream on the hair

combed

one down 5 to go

sister washed hair

combed

eight all march to mass

playing in the street

at chap door runaway

caught in the act

sore arse

grounded

You're lucky, we didn't have a sink, we had to use a puddle in the road.  On a sunny day we had warm water!
