Humour
MOM = Mean Old Mother
ANONYMOUS
My son came home
from school one day,
With a smirk upon his face.
He decided he was smart enough,
To
put me in my place.
'Guess what I learned in Civics Two,
that's
taught by Mr. Wright?
It's all about the laws today,
The
'Children's Bill of Rights.'
It says I need not clean my room,
Don't have to keep my hair
No
one can tell me what to think,
Or speak, or what to wear.
I
have freedom from religion,
And regardless what you say,
I don't
have to bow my head,
And I sure don't have to pray.
I can wear earrings if I want,
And
pierce my tongue and nose.
I can read and watch just what I
like,
Get tattoos from head to toe.
And if you ever spank me,
I'll charge you with a crime.
I'll back up all my charges,
With
the marks on my behind.
Don't you ever touch me,
My body's
only for my use,
Not for your hugs and kisses,
that's just more
child abuse.
Don't preach about your morals,
Like your Mama did to you.
That's
nothing more than mind control,
And it's illegal too!
Mom, I
have these children's rights,
So you can't influence me,
Or I'll call Children's Services Division,
Better known as C.S.D.'
Mom's Reply and
Thoughts
Of course my first instinct was
To toss him out the door.
But
the chance to teach him a lesson
Made me think a little more.
I
mulled it over carefully,
I couldn't let this go.
A smile crept
upon my face,
He's messing with a pro.
Next day I took him shopping
At the
local Goodwill Store.
I told him, 'Pick out all you want,
There's
shirts and pants galore.
I've called and checked with C.S.D
...
Who said they didn't care
If I bought you K-Mart shoes
Instead of
those Nike Airs.
I've canceled that appointment
To take your
driver's test.
The C..S.D. Is unconcerned
So I'll decide what's
best. '
I said 'No time to stop and eat,
Or pick up stuff to munch.
And
tomorrow you can start to learn
To make your own sack lunch.
Just
save the raging appetite,
And wait till dinner time.
We're having
liver and onions,
A favorite dish of mine.'
He asked 'Can I please rent a movie,
To
watch on my VCR?'
'Sorry, but I sold your TV,
For new tires on my
car.
'I also rented out your room,
You'll take the couch instead.
The C .S.D. Requires
Just a roof over your head.
'Your clothing
won't be trendy now,
I'll choose what we eat.
That allowance that
you used to get,
Will buy me something neat.
'I'm selling off
your jet ski,
Dirt-bike & roller blades.
Check out the 'Parents Bill of
Rights',
It's in effect today!
'Hey hot shot, are you crying,
Why
are you on your knees?
Are you asking God to help you out,
Instead
of C.S.D..?'

It brought a smile on Monday morning ... great way to get across the point of a mother's role and love. Will keep this poem handy for the future ... my son is growing fast ...

So casually but so effectively, this poem makes me realize how my MOM is so important in my life ... But one thing I sure must say ... The picture used besides the poem greatly complements it.

Wow! It's really funny :)
