Because when I saw this ad,
I simply had to oblige:
Wanted: a nanny for two adorable children
If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
Rosy cheeks, no warts!
Play games, all sorts
You must be kind, you must be witty
Very sweet and fairly pretty
Take us on outings, give us treats
Sing songs, bring sweets
Never be cross or cruel
Never give us castor oil or gruel
Love us as a son and daughter
And never smell of barley water
Love us as a son and daughter
And never smell of barley water
If you won't scold and dominate us
We will never give you cause to hate us
We won't hide your spectacles
So you can't see
Put toads in your bed
Or pepper in your tea
Hurry, Nanny!
Many thanks

Sincerely,

Delighted that you too are an admirer of Mary Poppins. She, along with Sherlock Holmes and Winnie-the-Pooh, are my chief role models!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! :) Girl, I had NO idea ... I thought you were moving back home to IL not over seas! Yes, I'm a bit jealous and wish I were tucked in one of your suitcases right about now ... I love you girl and miss you! Have so much fun and enjoy the nightlife - great bars there!! Muah! Katie Bone
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome ad. I would have taken the opportunity, too. Let me know if their friends need help!!
