An Unwanted Guest Mother In Law
What can I say about my mother-in-law?
She’s loud and crabby and four feet tall.
She comes in my house and wrecks my dinner,
then has the nerve to ask me when I’ll get thinner!
When she enters a room all hell breaks loose,
she makes me pick sides, which in-law do I choose?
She brings over dinner I end up on the couch catatonic,
every year the Thanksgiving turkey makes me vomit!
Unexpected visits and I welcome her in my house,
but her voice so squeaky like an annoying little mouse.
So I give her tea and offer her a vanilla cupcake,
but chocolate is her favorite, how much more can I take!
She comes over to see her granddaughter Ella Rose,
acting so very sweet as she tickles her nose,
but I know she desperately needs something from me,
so I wait for a minute… “Can I borrow some money?”
She owes me a thousand dollars from my retirement fund,
when I ask her to pay me back she looks angry and stunned.
Oh…so much to say, but now I’m stressed and must rest,
from writing about my MOTHER-IN-LAW...
the UNWANTED GUEST!
