When Mummy yelled, And Daddy cursed, I'd hide under my sheets. I'd lay out my teddy bears, And give them pillow-seats.
When Mummy screamed, And Daddy cried, My sheets became my fort. I'd slip under without a sound, I'd try not to be caught.
When Mummy wept, And Daddy raged, My sheets were there for me. They'd wrap me up and hold me tight, And hug me carefully.
When Mummy fell, And Daddy drunk, I'd pull my sheets in tight. I'd hum so loud that I'd pretend, That they'd never really fight.
