Worry, Worry, Worry Poem by Lindsey Priest

Worry Worry Worry
That’s all I seem to do.
Worry about everything
Especially about you!
Why is all your money spent
So I have to help you out?
Why are you so overdrawn?
What is it all about?
Yes I know you have a boyfriend
And he lives so far away,
But do you have to phone him
Fifteen times a day!
Yes I know about being a student
And what young love is like
How you have to talk for ages
‘Cos I did with your Dad, Mike
We also had the phone bills
That headed for the sky
Our Dad’s had real bad moments
And asked the question—why
Can’t you write a letter
Like other people do?

Worry, worry, worry
Especially about you!
