We have a brand new regular slot on the Tidy Books blog with poet, Elli Woollard, and we’re really chuffed because her poems for kids and and the young at heart, are funny observances of family life based on life with her four children.   We’ll feature one of her original poems every month, so be sure to check back regularly.

Elli is mum to three sons, and one daughter, and is a Londoner who’s lived in Thailand for many years, and has now returned to London.  Elli works as a Thai to English translator, and her background in anthropology makes her well qualified to observe the quirks and sheer ridiculousness of life with kids!   We hope you and your children enjoy them.

I’M THE WINNER

I’m the winner

I’m the winner

I’m the winner

Down to dinner

I put out my arm so you couldn’t get past

So I was the first

And you were the last

Don’t tell Mum that I’m a cheat!

The naughty step? But I want to EAT!

I’m all thinner

I’m all thinner

I’m all thinner

Without my dinner

And when my skeleton’s found on the stair

Then you’ll be sorry – IT’S JUST NOT FAIR!

But nobody ever listens even when I shout
