My Mother in law,faught in the War.
back in 43.
and as Im reminded every week,
its cos of Her ” im free”.

I apologised for not yet being Born,
and a tear,I could have sworn
dripped doon my wee face.
as shameful was I,,to be born,in a Race:
that had NO winners.

My Mother in law,,is far superior to me,
she born the laddie,that is part of me.
her comments now,,make me wince.
and i KNOW she makes,Far better Mince.

My mother in Law,,Never lets me Speak,
as an All knowing,superior freak.
she gloats of Countries abroad she has seen,
the Tallin cruise ,the Moscovian Queen.
the way she dances,in St Petersburg square,
the Australian cruise,and its not fair.
from mexico grande to singapore,Cuba y Chile,
oh hear her roar.

so life goes on,and she never forgives,
as she prattles on,about the Malidives.
Of All the places I couold have seen,,if ONlY i WAS a princess queen.
but together,forever,are her son and I ,
alas, i will never let her see me cry.
a laugh.a giggle,,im forever the Fool.
and the laughs with our kids,,in sunny Blackpool :)

rubes consistently brilliant

the panda is such
a curious beast
under observation,
all it does is eat.
Such dedication
to its gut
makes one think
that its mouth simply
does not shut.

Perhaps, or it could be all about the quality of the bamboo shoots.

I’ll need to get back to you on this one.

My mother in law,,kinda gets on my wick.
the things she says,the way she prays,
its all that wee bit sick.
as her days pass in a catholic haze.

at her age,she is away with the fairys,
as she blesses Our lady and says the Hail Marys.
she ignored her religeon for 40 odd years,
ignored the call of romanian tears.

never suffered fools ,she declared !
as i sat there and wept.
i was ever so scared,
as the future it crept..

so i faced her !

and told her I was the love of HER sons life.
and in a secret wee bet,he made me his wife. !
was never good enough,and never princess Di,
a clown and a poet, so take it ..oh my !

and she disowned him.

and later she realised she needed me too,
we took them on holiday, a family through and through.
along came the baby.put things in motion,
till the night she mentioned,, casually.., abortion. !

and i hated her.

so i smiled through the years,and the thinly veiled tears,
as i watched her non smiling eyes glower.
the ill fated looks of not in her good books,
but NOT once did i ever cower.

then he died.

so now,i appear,to sound ever so queer,
as i tolerate this woman so bold.
no longer the 20 something fears, but a lassie of cheers.
and a mother in law so pathetically old.

and she needs me..
