Fair Weather Supporter

I’m a fair weather supporter; don’t like it when it’s raining.

Kids can play outside all day and it doesn’t feel as draining.

I’m a fair weather supporter; the kids entertain themselves for free.

I can bounce with them on the trampoline (and try hard not to wee).

I’m a fair weather supporter; don’t have to disguise them as Michelin Man.

They can go out dressed as Power Rangers, Transformers and Fireman Sam.

I’m a fair weather supporter; quite content to play the female Pied Piper.

But if I had to have all eight kids inside, I’d be aiming with a sniper.

I’m a fair weather supporter, because food tastes better al fresco.

Don’t need to buy any fancy stuff, just any crap old ham from Tesco.

I’m a fair weather supporter; it’s a good excuse to escape from chores.

With kids in and out of the garden all day, what’s the point in mopping floors?

I’m a fair weather supporter; you ask ‘Why’s the toddler wearing orange armbands?’

Well it’s no worse than the snot on his face and the mud that is covering his hands.

I’m a fair weather supporter, because when they row the wind lessens the noise.

I can pretend they’re all playing in harmony, like sweet little girls and boys.

I’m a fair weather supporter, especially with great neighbours to share the load.

Our houses should have an adjoining door to make one big happy abode.

I’m a fair weather supporter; in the open air kids managed not to fight.

The only real casualty of the day is our house which looks like a bomb site.

I’m a fair weather supporter; all day I’ve heard laughter and kids having fun.

But I’m f***ed if it rains tomorrow so I’m running away to become a nun.  🙂
