Moms

 

Moms cook up a storm

is just how it is.

 

Kids can play while

she does her biz.

 

Dad works in the office

fixes teeth like a whiz.

 

She mixes up batters.

I lick what gets splattered

on the phone she loves chatter.

I eat, run and then scatter.

 

Elaborate meals she often made

I hated coming in from where I played

Street ball is where I wished I stayed

but changed my mind with her marinade

which was worthy of a motorcade.

 

Many years and events have come and gone

Colleen’s in the kitchen and loves to cook

a favorite companion, her cooking books

and the meals she makes won’t be mistook

they are labors of love as if from mom’s guidebook.
