Target Practice
Trapped inside an endless hell
I cry myself to sleep
Tho trying not to weep
I somehow always fail
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
I live in constant fear
Each season of the year
I'll see my mother-in-law
She always sits there staring
No matter what I do
Her look will pierce me thru
With her constant nosey glaring
Her teeth are always falling out
And landing on the floor
I just cant't take it anymore
It makes me wanna shout
Time has come for her to go
But she will never die
There is no reason why
She's growing old too slow
So I'll hang her picture on the wall
And stab her in the heart
For now with just a dart
Farewell dear mother-in-law
