An Educational Poem for Mother's Day

An Educational Poem for Mother's Day

Child, your Mother will have often said
That soon it shall be time for Bed:
Then, Child, you should strive to be within it
Before the stopwatch runs a minute.

If ever Mother says to you
"Child! Close your mouth before you chew!"
Then bind your lips with superglue!
From henceforth, Child, you must pour
Meals through your nose by means of straws.

But if you stub your little toe,
And Mother says your foot must go,
Then chop BOTH feet off! - at the knees! -
Walk on your hands! - don't whine or wheeze!

Acquiesce to her demands
And learn from all her reprimands!
Try your very best to be
The most well-behaved of progeny!

And if Mother bursts in through the door
With a head besmeared in grime and gore
And bids you shut it in the drawer -
Then do it now! - and make it snappy!
(You wouldn't want to make her crappy!)

Be good, my child! Do her behest!
For Mother always did know best!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
