Caren Krutsinger Poet Limerick

Matts Moody Mother Mollycoddled Him

Matt’s moody mother mollycoddled him.
His toenails had a daily trim.
He sneaked out to date.
His girlfriend was great.
They fell in love which made mommy grim.

Matt pleaded with her to change her mind. 
I love her he said. She is the marrying kind.
Forty-two is too young!
His mother said, Son!
He was a baby in his mommy’s mind.

Valsa George February 5, 2022 at 10:10 PM Some mothers consider their grown up children as mere kids, interfering and advising in everything ! Enjoyed your story, Caren ! Caren Krutsinger February 6, 2022 at 4:07 PM It is crazy how some mommies want to keep their babies as babies. I know a 70 year old woman who has managed to never let her 48 and 44 son leave, have a job, or do any of their own laundry, fix their own meals or anything.
