Ok so its Mothers Day...

Two Mother's Day offerings, first this old thing, recycled..............

A mother is the carer

Who makes everything alright

Or gets told off by teenagers

For staying out all night

A mother does the housework

So that all is neat and clean

Or lies down watching football

and keeps swearing at the screen

a mother cooks your dinner

roasts and pickles

fries and bakes

or thinks essential shopping’s

german wine and jaffa cakes

a mother buys you clothes to wear

and knows what’s best for you

or has leopard printed knickers

and a Motorhead tattoo.

When I first wrote it, some years ago, friends would read it and every one said "have you got a Motorhead tattoo?" As if the mother in the second half of each verse was so obviously me. What can I say.....
