Sybil Bruncheon's Poems With Purpose for Pre-Schoolers!... "Sweet Little Suzy!"

Sweet Little Suzy wanted just to play
Pretending to do laundry and ironing all day.

Then there were the dishes and changing dolly’s clothes,
Tending to the garden and watering with a hose.

Vacuuming and dusting, then painting baby’s chair. 
Bath time for all seven and combing out their hair. 

No time to sit and chat with friends or have them by for tea. 
Suzy’s just exhausted. “No time”, she cries “For me!”.

Then there come the headaches. An all-day crying jag.
Suzy thinks she’s gaining weight and looking like a hag.

She forgets to feed her dolly, and starves the other six.
She trips upon her dollhouse and gives it several kicks.

And then one night of stress and woe, as all the family sleeps, 
Sleepless Suzy, wild and crazed, into the nursery creeps.

She looks around at ironing board and dolly cloths in stacks.
And crosses to her sleeping babes and kills them with an ax.
