IF MAMA AIN'T HAPPY, AIN'T NOBODY HAPPY! - FQMom

________________________________________________________________________

"If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" One of my favorite quotes by a man named Ron Hall

If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
Tell that to each kid and his or her pappy.
Some moms can be weird, but think of all they do,
especially the pain they went through delivering you!

If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy..
So even when life might seem a bit crappy,
it's probably worse for your dear mama.
Don't whine and complain, causing more drama.

If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
Show your own mama that you can be zappy
by eagerly helping her. Be on your toes.
It won't kill you either to even brown-nose.

If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
On this Mother's Day be a bit sappy.
Respect her. Adore her. To her wisdom defer.
And do for your Mama what most pleases HER!

It is Mother's Day here in the UK, so I thought it would be nice to feature mum related poems... The playful tone of the poem is complemented by its simple yet effective rhymes and rhythm, making it both enjoyable to read and memorable. It encourages children to express their love and appreciation for their mothers not just on Mother's Day, but every day, by showing affection, offering assistance, and respecting their wisdom and guidance.. Congratulations on your placement..

Good one and good advice, but sometimes it is not easy carrying it out. An unhappy woman can cause so much grief. A woman is a multiplier so what you give her she can give it back to you in 100 or 1000 fold. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Andrea, I just read this to my wife and she agrees with you! Tell me about your kids. I don't remember if you have any. I know you do a lot and you deserve a lot of appreciation for what you do. You are really a saint for the care that you give. It's not easy being a wife. The humor with which this poem expresses the feeling is remarkable and charming.
