David Wakeling Poet ABC

My Stupid Mum

Why did she get that degree in Fine Arts,
Oh what a like total Loser.
It won’t do her any good.
And that time when the neighbours house burnt down,
She let the 5 kids stay with us until the house was rebuilt.
I had to share my bedroom.
What a loser Mum.

I remember that time when our Labrador, Jess, was
having 6 pups and was suffering with the birth.
Mum stayed up all night to care for her and the pups.
I mean what a total loser Mum.
Even my 21st. I had a few drinks with my mates and 
I feel asleep on the front lawn.
She put a “Spiderman” blanket over me.
All the neighbours laughed at me.
What a total loser Mum.
That time she climb the old maple tree and recued the 
tabby cat.Why did she do that?
Loser Mum.
I don’t understand why she was such a loser.
