Once again, Angel Sammys and Teddys Pawetaton have provided us with a photo for Poetry Thursday
My mom was a weightlifting champion
Maybe that is why daddy couldn’t sleep with an ambien
The men at the club all made fun
That she was the stronger one
Old dad, he did live in fear
That in his sleep, mom would attack from the rear
Once, a robber entered the house
And Daddy told Mommy to be quieter than a mouse
Instead, she stood and confronted the villain
And beat him until his face was vermilion
When the police came, they treated her like a queen
While he was left in the room to clean
He decided to get in shape and joined a gym
But she had to save him the first time he tried to swim
He complained to his friend that he had become emasculated
And his friends worried their marriage was ill fated
But he knew he could not leave
It was something he could not conceive
As much as everyone thought it was funny
Without her, they would beat him up for his lunch money
Das told me she was so strong when I was in her womb
When she gave birth, she shot me across the room
Old the kids laughed that their dad could beat up mine
And I told them my mom could snap their spine
I want you to know my mom was a real lady
Even when she played offensive line for Tom Brady
To me she was just my mom
we agree... our dad would live in fear too hahahaha
ReplyDeleteYou mom sounds just grrrrreat!

ReplyDelete'Das told me she was so strong when I was in her womb

I LOVED this poem! And it reminded me of something that really happened. My middle son was outside (about 11 years old) and threatened a school "buddy" that "my mom will beat up your Dad!" They were having a loud disagreement about something but he was drawing on the knowledge that I had bee lifting weights for some time...heavy ones. My best dead lift in warm ups was 322#. The boys used to go to the gym with me and watch workouts. in the summer. I told that son never to say that again. I didn't want to get into fisticuffs with some stranger nor would the stranger want to do so. Thanks for the memory as old Bob Hope used to say.
ReplyDeleteThat was sure a really good one, bravo you!
