My Other Mother

Mother’s Day road trip
to my Mother-in-law–not
near, but dear to me.

I’ll Be Mother …

Perfect pot of tea,
’til I select a cup—the
lid plops in. Hot! Hot!

How Was Your Weekend?

Saturday, Mom’s caps
Stuck in pastry and fell off,
Incidentally.

I Can’t Relate

Mom has family stopping.
Now she’s holding court as—the
Politics guru.

‘Nuff Said

Doc wonders why my
Blood pressure’s up,’til I say—
My mom lives with us.
