A Mother's Lament Comments

Same the whole world over.

Very nurturing indeed. Nice Wiite Great Poem. Be Well

This is the way to tell this nicely, euphemistically..

oh, the joys of motherhood- always trying to do the right thing, does it ever end. how do you deal with teenagers? i surrender in defeat Mamta

it is all well and good................but onething i would just not allow you into no--no writting a poem...., i do enjoy the wording no, quite amusing thanks for sharing-

Oh, the hardships of having to play the role of nagging mother. Might not make you popular, but at least you know you've been a good one. Think i'll call mine right now.

I'm putting this up in my house somewhere.... lol, great write, I really enjoyed this! Thanks! Lee

Dee, I don't think there is much left for me to say that hasn't been said already. I just loved it. I could recognise my own family here as the kids were growing up. Great feeling and great writing. David

A very entertaining little poem, that would tug the Heart Strings of any mother! : -) Well done! I really enjoyed the read. Deanna xx .

I love this Dee, it's absolutely wonderful. A great guide for parenting.--Melvina-

A simple recipe for the good life. Punchy - can imagine the refereee in a boxing match makiing this declaration at the start. The last two lines would make it veryinteresting. Has that same relaxed easy to digest style as 10K. Very good writing. xx jim

Love this Dee! ! Sounds like something my dad used to say! ! Or yell! ! H xx

This rings a bell...(my father in law used to say that you shouldn't tell them not to do things - you should try and distract them. You try doing that 24/7! ! Used to annoy me so...) Joey

I'll drink to all that! If only... jack :)

Dee, As much as I enjoyed reading that, Why do I think that it didn't work?

I think fathers do have to resort to this - I didnt have to because I have on ly one child a son. I enjoyed the style of this poem. Great

Guess Dads too can relate to this jaunty poetry ivor

That is soooo familiar. I love the snappy style of this poem. Irene

No crouching, no grouching, no blinking and no stinking... Yer poems are nice, they're worth speakin' an repeatin'. Great poem Dee-Keep it up girl. God bless all poets-MJG.

The words past from generation to generation! You have captured it well!
