A Mother's Day Poem

MAMA

For Nathan and his Mother

* * * * * * * *

My Mother's terrific.

To be more specific,

she's wonderful!

She feeds me

breakfast and lunches and dinner!

(That's why I'm not thinner!)

She's wonderful!

Oh, she's great at chasin'

the dragons who hasten

to gobble me up in the dark!

One glare from her

and they start in to purr,

and turn into kittens

in bright woolen mittens

without any claws -

'Cause

Mama is smarter

by half than she oughter be.

How she plots and schemes!!

And if I grow to be very tall,

it's not 'cause of genes after all,

it's 'cause Mama stretches me,

stretches me, stretches me, stretches me

'till it seems

I can reach my dreams.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
