The Son-In-Law

Never have I ever
Told my mother-in-law she's fat
Okay, I probably have
I lied, so I'm sorry about that

I've never locked the refrigerator
When she comes to spend the night
Okay, you know I did
I even unscrewed the light

I've never said she's ugly
With that mole between her eyes
Okay, she is though
She needs to wear a desguise

I've never called her sasquatch
With hair all over the place
I got her a razor for Christmas
You should have seen her face

I've never put her in the paper
For something to cut the grass
I just said she's an old ugly goat
Who's always passing gas

I've never said I hate her
But you can read what I wrote above
I didn't mentioned hate one time
But you notice I didn't mention love

I am sure that she and her daughter are both angels or you would have been poisoned long ago. And I think you are very fond of your mother-in-law. At the very least she is a wonderful sport to put up with you. But I always read your mther inlaw poems and smile. I hope she does. Love, Joyce
