Double, double...

Double, double toil and trouble,
Toast doth burn,
And baked beans bubble.
Eggs and bacon,
Porridge too.
Kids a-screaming,
A chaos brew.
Kettle boiling,
Teapot ready.
Cups and saucers,
Remaining steady.
Meal's a-starting,
Slapped on the plates,
Chomping sounds,
At quite a rate.
All of a sudden,
The meal is over,
Washing up,
No one's in clover.
Then everyone,
Is out the door.
Some hours later,
They're back for more.
Double, double, toil and trouble,
Toast doth burn,
Spaghetti hoops bubble...
