All at once
In the kitchen potatoes are cooking
Out of the window kids are looking
In the garden the laundry is drying
In the stove the meet is frying
The children should be learning
Meanwhile toast starts burning
All the time their mom is on the run
Working here, helping there is no fun
Everybody shouts for help he need
She is trying to do it all - indeed
