Sonnet 42: Two Weeks Your Mother Has Now Been With Us

Rating: 5.0


Two weeks your mother has now been with us
She has eaten me out of house and home
When will she pack her bags and take the bus
Or off to the pub I will sadly roam.
We have taken her for walks in the park
And drives in the countryside twice a week
As for meals, she has eaten like a shark
How long does she want to stay, I must speak.
Time passes with monotonous languor
And I am beginning to start a twitch
I hope you don’t mind me speaking with candour
But her presence is now making me itch.
When mother in law comes with a suitcase
Life will take on a new meaning and pace.
