Leaving his mother the wood to bring.

Will you not stay,
Put up your caravan
Just for one day?

“Her Day”
She cooked the breakfast first of all,
Washed the cups and plates,
Dressed the children and made sure
Stockings all were mates.
Combed their hair and made their beds,
Sent them out to play.
Gathered up their motley toys,
Put some books away.
Dusted chairs and mopped the stairs,
Ironed
