Mothers Day Verses

In the lead up to Mothering Sunday this is a tribute I wrote many years back to a wife and mum who was born in 1953, forgets to water the house plants, is a keen reader and cuts the family's hair

For your birth, they held street parties

The whole country just went mental

T'was in '53... the Queen was crowned

But that was incidental

You drink in TV movies

You've a thirst for books, that's true

Our house plants know the feeling

For they get thirsty too

Having an in-house barber

We think is very good

We save some dosh...and we don't mind

The occasional sight of blood

But your love of Jane Austen books

Gives us our greatest fear

While you cut our hair, steeped in Pride

You might Prejudice our ear

But enough of all these insults

For now the time has come

To tell you that we love you

You're a special wife and Mum
