As always, with these prompts – a quick thank you to the provider
Mel @ Writeclub you are a star!

It’s not a compulsion, condition or whim
but i’d be worried for the items on the desk of Miss Prim
I’m all for everything being in proper place
but this lady, takes the ethos to a totally different space
Nursery playthings are kept under the stairs
with Teddies and Dolls totally unawares
tracks of toy trains – not changing their route
should Miss Prim finds she’s got one under her foot
Kids colouring in their books , often find
their coloured pencils in regimented line
and toys on the bookshelf can’t leave their space
should Miss Prim find them on the floor in disgrace
Keeping things tidy is all well and good
but she’s even lined up the fallen sticks and wood
Don’t tell the children – they’re going to paint
It’s enough to make poor Miss Prim want to faint
Nursery kids – always make a mess
how Miss Prim reacts ? is anyone’s guess
