I SALUTE YOU MAMA

I was born a poet not a charming man,
Whatever I do I believe in yes I can,
From journalism to mending the leaking can,
Thanks to my mum for not being a nun,

Her fantastic care did not make me a rogue,
Under harsh weather conglomerated of fog,
She made sure I was warm even under smog,
The physique I have is her encouragement to jog.

‘Nyar Were’ is the nickname we gave to her,
Her dedication has made us reach far,
Now we’re even able to own a flashy car,
With her we’re no longer where we were.

The beloved mother of Vic the banker,
Very soon I know he will own a tanker,
And build himself a bungalow not a bunker,
That gives comfort even if the weather is danker.

Her first born daughter is Rachel,
The professional biochemist not Cael,
Cladding in a lab coat and carrying a file,
Unlike a machete and a sharpening file.


Having a mother is a great opportunity,
While losing her a woeful eventuality,
Even though one day it will be a reality,
Salute to mums for being great necessities.
