Mammy Poems | Examples


Sammy Has Mammy Living In Miami

we heard that sammy
had a mother called mammy
won grammy in miami

button and button
after we had gone hunting
who has the button

we started to search
in a place where he would perch
on bench made of birch

were with many fears
they even had bought some steers
after rounds of beers

money disappears
when their twilight nears
in hock up to ears

you should see long spears
they did use to kill a deer
poor at changing gears

Mammy

 Lying on your shoulders mammy
I saw the world from above
And I even learned how to talk
You taught me how to walk
You showed me how to sing
You fed me from your breast
I grow up on your back
Why am I supposed to look for heaven?
When you are the heaven


Premium Member A Double Mammy

McGee arrived early one morning
At the factory he'd worked all his life
When the foreman waved to McGee with his hand
And said there's a call from his wife

So McGee walked in to the office in haste
When no sooner he answered the phone
Set it down gently, and with a sad face
Simply let out a groan 

The Boss was concerned, and so asked McGee
"Is there something you'd like to confide"
McGee wiped a tear as he turned to his boss
"It's me mother, Diss mornin' she died"

"You'll be needin' the day", said McGee's boss
As he placed his hand on McGee’s back
"No" McGee said, "I'll be just fine,
It's better I stay, right on track"

But no sooner that said, the phone rang again
and again, it was for Ole' McGee
"It's for you" The Boss said while handing the phone
back to McGee nervously 

“I just can't believe it, shouted McGee
I’ll be need’in the day, diss be why,
Me brother jus’ called me and said that dis mornin’
ALSO his Mother had died”

Mammy

A baby's  voice
Mammy can you hear me, will you listen to my plea 
Mammy please don't do it,take the gift of life from me
If you go ahead and do this thing 
It will be to me your baby 
A baby you'll never ever hold or see 
I have the right to live in the outside world 
After the time I have spent in here 
You will never ever forgive yourself 
And it will only end in a tear 
So mammy have some courage and follow your heart 
Don't listen to those foolish ones
Do the right thing from the start 
So mammy please don't do it
 Even as a  last resort
Don't even contemplate the ending of my life 
By trying to abort
