The Ballad of Mother's Day Wishes

This is a poem I wrote for my mom (or the Queen, as she likes to be called) for mother's day. She is 55, and just last year she started to work out a lot, and I'm really proud of her. Of course, she dropped a lot of weight and gained a lot of muscle, but she also has a bit of loose skin that she jokingly complains about, since she won't be able to get rid of it at her age.

Another important thing I should mention is her cat, which is named Bratty, Bitchy, Breezy, Bree, Christmas-tree hider... and many, many more things. That's enough back story, hope you get a good wacky laugh.

The Ballad of Mother's Day Wishes


She's the buffest ruler one's ever seen,
a solid rock and a glorious Queen.
Only Breezy stumbles before her pleas,
for a hundred names she has for she.

A nuisance, however, plagues her thought,
for even a Queen can be distraught.
To the closet she goes as it buggers her mind,
in her reflection lies the answer she'll find.

Marveling in front of the magical mirror,
admiring the muscles she holds so dear.
When no one's around, she sadly asks thee,
'Oh immaculate mirror, my skin hangs free.'

The mirror responds, ' Thou darest cross-dress. '
' I'm not that kind of Queen ', says the empress.
' But thou conceals here in thy wardrobe.'
' To hide from the eyes of those who probe. '

' Thou garden of majesty, thee is so firmest. '
' My bicep is large, but impeded by dermis. '
' Aye fair lady, thou hast no reason. '
' If you say that again, I'll behead you for treason. '

' Queen! ' cries the Mirror. 'I haven't a head! '
' It was a figure of speech - I'll smash you instead. '
' Forgive me, my majesty, what shallest I say? '
' That loose skin will vanish by Mother's day.'

' Oh shining, merciful star - I can do thine naught. '
' You better,' warns Her. ' A hammer I've sought. '

' Oh my ' gulps the Glass. ' Then I swearest to thee - '
' - that thy wish will come true, or pieces I be.'

I hung this on her mirror and placed a hammer underneath it

    This was really funny when I first read it, but for some reason I never commented on it. I hope your mom liked it, cause to me it was actually quite funny. This was a really good poem, nice job making it into a ballad, and it made total sense. You also described your mom really well.

    Awww!!!! I wish I still did sweet stuff for my mother years back, I would write my mother poems and stories for every mother's day and valentine's day (her bday ^_^).

    Your author notes at the beginning of your works just gives so much color and life to your mother's character I grinned as I read, because I could say so many stuff about my mother, too ^_^ our generation gap is a bit wide (my mom is... uh, she's born 1950 x.x I hate math), but then, we try to understand each other

    Your poem is soooooo cute, in a way that I know I was not the only one who enjoyed reading it I bet the queen loved it too ^_^

    Best line:
    'Oh immaculate mirror, my skin hangs free.'


    Thanks for sharing thsi with us
    Good luck with the contests!
