It Was a Good Morning Until

It was a good morning till she arrived, the she devil that bore her only child, occasion to visit us she contrived, with an excuse of sorts that she compiled! She heaved and puffed her way in to the house, with baggage and beddings wrapped in her arm, she flashed a smile! that mother of my spouse, through her big wide mouth used for gossip swarm! It was a better morning when she left, peace at last when I thought she would not budge, but she died the next day! .. I wept bereft, how prejudiced and wrong was I to judge! N/A Written 13/02/2021 Sponsor Tania Kitchin It was a good morning until.. contest 12 lines 10 syllables each. abab cdcd efef rhyme pattern

Fine job writing this. I was shocked by the last stanza! Yeah, a M-I-L can start a day off on the wrong foot, but I'll bet you wish she were back. What can I say???

Don't show this to your wife, if you do no dinner. Fun write except second last line. Enjoyed reading. Did you join work? God bless! Take care, Rama
