Multitasking Mammas Poem by John Sensele

Multitasking Mammas



Mamma's love, care and concern for her offspring
Surpasses the ductility of any diamond ring
Because mamma's love overpowers obstacles and pains
Offspring, cynics, ingrates, detractors and rains

Inflict on mamma who spends sleepless nights
To care for a whimpering baby with lights
On and with lights off as dads and lads snore
Noisily while dads boat that they ain't no bore

To any family's economic circuitous circumstances
In which they claim leadership roles and stances
Although unsung heroines, multi tasking mamas toil and moil
in silence from sunup to sunset and secure oil

To keep mamma's lantern burning when a power utility
Load sheds electric power when a drought volatility
Queers family's works. Adaptable and stable mammas
Conjure up a quick fix to preempt pesky family dramas.
