Marry Poppins (part 1)

'Wind's in the east, mist coming in...,
Like something is brewin' about to begin... '




-Good evening! Mr and Mrs Banks I suppose!
-Yes,...come in constable!
-I found them while on duty across the park, I believe they are yours sir!
-Thank you for finding the children , their nanny lost them and we were so worried! .




-Well children, I am waiting for an explanation...
-Sorry we lost our nanny father,... It was windy and the kite was too strong for us...
-We made it ourselves and wasn't a good one, perhaps if you helped us make a better kite...



-Father we are very sorry about today! Since the old nanny left we want to help you find a new one for us! Here is an advertisement we wrote :
'Wanted a nanny for two adorable children. Must be kind, sweet and pretty, play games, give us treats, sing songs and take us walks! Be nice with us and we won't give you cause to hate us!
Sincerely, Jane and Michael Banks.'
-Well enough of this, thank you. Now please return to the nursery!




-Oh George, they were only trying to help...
-Play games... sing songs... give treats...Ridiculous! A home must be run with discipline and precision, just like a bank! I will place an advertisement in the Times. I will require for a nanny that will be firm, serious and respectable. One that can give commands like a general!




-I wish dad finds a nice nanny for us! I wonder how she will be like...
-Michael...look...!




-... Look! It's HER!...
-... Maybe she a witch!...
-Of course not! Witches have brooms!
-She looks exactly what we have asked for in our letter!

-You are the father of Jane and Michael Banks, are you not?

-Yes...

-I believe I have all the required qualifications! Kind, pretty, play games, sing songs...

-Eh, this paper?... Where did you get it from?So strange... I thought I tore it up!

-You did advertise for a nanny, did you not sir?

-Well... yes... but...

-Very well then! I believe a trial period would be wise. I'll give you one week. I'll see the children now. Thank you.

-Well children, don't stand there staring. Best foot forward. Spit spot!

-This is your room.

-I think it will be quite suitable for me. Just needs a touch here and there... 

-So first I need a hat stand to put my hat on!

-A thing of beauty is a joy forever!

-Some more light would be nice!

-We better keep an eye on her, she's tricky...

-The room looks better now, come on, let's have a look at the nursery too!

-The nursery isn't very tidy...
-Well , let's play a game as you requested in your advertisement... this one is called 'well begun is half done'...
-Hmm I don't like the sound of that...
-In other words,' let's tidy up the nursery'!
-I told you she was tricky!

In every job that must be done,

There is an element of fun.

You find the fun, and snap!

The job's a game.

And every task you undertake

Becomes a piece of cake!

♫Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, in a most delightful way!♫

-Oh Mary Poppins, this is a wonderful game! 

-Well the nursery is quite clean and tidy now! Time for our outing in the park!

-Oh, I'd prefer to tidy the room again!

-Enough is as good as a feast. Now let's go, spit spot!

-And off we go!

-Yaahh!
