My Cunning Plan

My mother was spring cleaning So I needed a reason to escape I have got a devilish mind and my cunning plan is taking shape. The plug has fallen off the hoover I've unscrewed the head from the sweeping brush A little superglue on the furniture polish and the button will not push . Tomato ketchup on my white sock I've trodden on a nail Link that my acting and my cunning plan can't fail but mothers know when something is fishy She gave me that look that doesn't need to speak I lost use of my computer and got grounded for a week.

I'm sure she was telepathic . She had a look that used to see straight through me . She didn't need to speak , I knew she knew .
