My Mother In Law

My Mother In Law

Saw a view appearing to be panoramic,
Of me while I had laid in my hammock;
For ugliness there was no known cure;
Much more then anyone could endure.

Instead of being on welfare or relief,
Living beyond budget was our belief;
Wife had wanted to knock me flat;
She did see me sat on her furry cat.

She was really someone to talk about;
Did describe her as being a knockout,
Who would often wear us to a frazzle,
When she performed her razzle dazzle.

So why did she want to look like me?
Horribly ugly like no one wants to be;
Should see her exhibit wild will power;
I again had forgot to wash out shower.

Then terrible thought to me did occur,
Compared to me no one can be uglier,
After I did decide this was last straw;
She ended up being my mother in law.
