Little Boy: Mommy’s Day Poem.

 

Mommy and Daddy loved each other,
And decided their sons, needed a brother.
They did something, but I don’t know what,
My brother knows, but he’s keeping his mouth shut.

For 9 months, everything she did consume,
Until one day, I burst out of her womb.
I realize now, she did quite the favor,
Sitting through 36 hours of painful labor.

She took me home, and I was a bundle of joy,
Until my brothers and I started to fight over toys.
It must be tough, to raise three kids.
Especially when they all act, so stu-pid.

I haven’t always been, the most perfect child,
In fact, I’ll admit, I can be kinda wild.
I’ve been known to do some silly things,
Like the time I tried, to use cardboard for wings.

But every single time, mommy comes through,
It seems like she knows, just what to do.
It’s not always pleasnt, like when I ate a dime,
She made me sit on the toilet, and she waited the whole time.

It’s things like that, I’ll never understand.
That’s why I’m glad mommy’s a girl, and not a man.
And so, dear mommy, all I wanted to say,
Was I love you lots – Happy Mother’s Day.
