A Mother's Lament Poem by Dee Daffodil

A Mother's Lament

Rating: 4.7


No punching, no hitting
No biting, no spitting
No blabbering, no blubbering
No fibbing, no flubbering
No snitching, no telling
No crying, no yelling
No swiping, no snatching
No sneaking, no catching
No pushing, no shoving
Be nice, be loving! !

Just get along! ! !

Oh, the hardships of having to play the role of nagging mother. Might not make you popular, but at least you know you've been a good one. Think i'll call mine right now.

Dee, I don't think there is much left for me to say that hasn't been said already. I just loved it. I could recognise my own family here as the kids were growing up. Great feeling and great writing. David
