mum breakfast poem

[sophie_1003]

there is a poem my boyfriends mum remembers her nan reading to her (from memory) about some children making their mum breakfast and its something about everythings not quite right e.g.) the toast is burnt, but because they made it she really enjoys it. If anyone has any idea what it might be it would be greatly appreciated!

ON MOTHER'S DAY

On Mother's Day we got up first
so full of plans we almost burst.
We started breakfast right away
as our surprise for Mother's Day.
We picked some flowers, then hurried back
to make some coffee----rather black.
We wrapped our gifts and wrote a card
and boiled the eggs----a little hard.
And then we sang a serenade
which burned the toast, I am afraid.
But mother said, amidst our cheers
"Oh, what a big surprise, my dears,
I've not had such a treat in years."
And she was smiling to her ears.
