My Spawn Poem by Esther Leclerc
My Spawn
Part I:
I'm the mother of four wonderful spawn
Of whom I look fondly upon
But I'm not very glad
When they fart as one lad
T'is then that I wish they were gone
Part II:
My three boys will be leaving me soon
Then the sun will go out with the moon
As my heart fills with gall
I won't function at all
'Til someone makes me laugh like a loon
Part III:
My daughter is a sight to behold
Her hair is milk chocolate and gold
She draws like a genius
Is sweet; sometimes mean, yes *
But she'll not soon depart from the fold
(GOOD GIRL!)
(9.15.06 - *I couldn't resist the rhyme. She is 13 yrs. old and o-cca-sion-al-ly cranky, esp. with the aforementioned brothers tho' they DO enjoy their bonding rituals. However, that noted in Part I is an abject lie; only the boys are skilled enough to participate. TOO skilled by far, if you ask me, grumble. But if it keeps 'em off the streets...)
WELL DONE ESTHER, my dear....humorous, inventive, enjoyable! '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''FJR
Ha! Keep them boys away from the beans! Gas masks for the ladies in the house? As long as you can still keep typing... - chuck
Esther, amongst the wonderful humour, each limerick is underpinned with such love and warmth. Tender, funny and thoroughly enjoyable! Justine :)

Esther, I love your tale of your four Mr. Fartingtons (the term our family coined for producers of family flatus) . Charming and humorously penned, esp the 'milk chocolate and gold' line. Loved it. Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Being the mother of three who learned to 'farkle' and leave 'farkleberries' behind, like Easter eggs to be found by the next unexpecting person to walk through a room, I cracked up over this one....and although they have all left, now they bring me their little 'farklers' to care for!
Simultaneously amusing and endearing... well done, Esther! How about they collaborate and write one about mom! ! Brian
