My Critical Mum Poem by VICTORIA GEORGE

I’ve never needed enemies
Because I’ve got my mum
She tells me I’ve got saggy knees
And a big fat bum

She’s always first to criticize
When I don’t look my best
My biggish nose and biggish thighs
And my low slung breasts

I could say the same to her
But I can’t criticize
She’ll be in tears if I infer
Or mention her large size

I just say that it’s a shame
I know I’m not that great
But she really has herself to blame
For her choice of mate!
