Of the Current Agonies of a Mother

I welcomed home the latest of the fan specifics A 52X72 Chelsea FC fleece Blanket that my daughter just picked I wanted to dump the Chelsea fleece, the crest sofa and the team poster But prompted myself to see it as warm, lightweight, 100% polyester My daughter’s Chelsea spirit was not dying Our recent acquisitions- a Chelsea neon clock, a football cushion, a key ring More reasons to be optimistic I had to think of when she brought a Chelsea rug Few mum for their morning coffee got to choose from a Chelsea stadium mug, Chelsea latte mug, Chelsea crest mug, Chelsea black and silver mug, Chelsea new stadium mug and a Didier drogba mug I am a grieving mother to more than one aficionado My son is in love with the renaissance art, bingo! Art poster prints, wall calendars and statues of the Renaissance men Over my dead body will I get him a Visconti Art pen A look at the Virgin of the rock, and I was struck by the depth and the emotion I no longer despised my son’s fascinating renaissance collection Distressed I became, the world seemed to come to an end When my son wished to see the Sistine Chapel ceiling within the Vatican ‘There’s somewhere here to see you, everyone hurry down’ My brother was visiting, for quite a while he had been out of town They came rushing down exclaiming ‘Ballack!’ ‘Oh no, it’s Michelangelo!’ My 9 year old squealed ‘It’s my letter from Hogwarts, I’m ready to go!’
