She Should Have Raised Axe Murderers
She was the kind of mother
who should have raised axe murderers and serial killers.
Harsh, bitter, angry, with six touches of meanness
and a horrible sounding whipping belt that she loved to snap
However, she raised two unhappy children who became notoriously successful.
After they escaped at eighteen, never to return.
Realizing life is different outside the house on Wilmore Drive.
Understanding that all people are not bitter, angry, depressed and mentally ill.
Their mother’s angry techniques of discipline, inflicted with diabolical glee
Was never inflicted upon any of their children,
Two girls and three boys who never knew their grandmother
or endured parenting skills that rivaled those of Mommy Dearest.
