My Friend – A poem written by my Mum when I was little

My Friend

By A L Harrington

Mrs Nesbit is a good friend to me,

My parents say that she is imaginary.

Mrs Nesbit is real, she drinks tea and eats cake,

Mrs Nesbit is responsible for the mess that I make.

I explain to my parents that Mrs Nesbit is there,

They just look at me with an odd looking stare.

Mrs Nesbit wears a bright pink hat,

And in her basket she carries a cat.

We make up stories and tales to tell,

If you believe in her she will be your friend as well.

I wrote this for my three daughters and I was inspired by the imaginary tea parties that we had. My daughters are all grown up now and so I dedicate this poem to my grand babies, who I also love so much xxx.
