To My Children

To My Children

Your teeth are green.
Your hot breath reeks.
Your room is a mess.
Your clothing stinks.
Your voice is loud.
Your ears are deaf.
I am your maid
and personal chef.
I'm proud of you
and all your traits
Cause I'm the one
Who made you great.

LOL- love it. I was expecting something mushy and gushy and hallmark-y, but this, this is sooooooooo much better. Thanks for the laugh! Cyndi
