Like Mother used to do
A Poem for Women

He didn't like the casserole,
And he didn't like my cake.
My biscuits were too hard...
Not like "Mother" used to make.

I didn't perk the coffee right,
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.

I pondered for an answer,
I was looking for a clue;
Then I turned around and smacked him...
Like his Mother used to do.
