Wanted a nanny, for two adorable children      If you want this choice position   Have a cheery disposition   Rosy cheeks, no warts   (That's the pot I put in)   Play games, all sorts      You must be kind, you must be witty   Very sweet and fairly pretty   Take us on outings, give us treats   Sing songs, bring sweets      Never be cross or cruel   Never give us castor oil or gruel   Love us as a son and daughter   And never smell of barley water   (I put that in too)      If you won't scold and dominate us   We will never give you cause to hate us   We won't hide your spectacles so you can't see   Put toads in your bed or pepper in your tea      Hurry nanny, many thanks   Sincerely, Jane and Michael banks
