Selkie Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I found this poem over on FINGERTIP FANTASIES website. It was written by someone named Lynne Roberts and posted there in their section called Miniature Ramblings. Hope you get a chuckle out of it. I know I did. A MINIATURE VIEWPOINT I have tree stumps in the bedroom A bordello in the hall Box rooms, varied sizes, Hang in rows upon the wall A dollshouse in the bedroomAnd another by the door A castle, jail and baby shop A wishing well and more! You’re not like Other Mothers My despairing family cry You’re living in another world You’re nuts, I hear them sigh Other People’s Mothers They say in stern reproof Use irons for their clothing Not for shingles on the roof Or making little flowers Of puff paint, blue and redOther People’s Mothers Don’t get sawdust in the bread Other People’s Mothers Bake wondrous cakes and pies Not creatures out of Fimo With bewitching little eyes Other People’s Mothers (I can’t believe it’s true) Keep spotless tidy kitchens Not paint and wood and glue Other People’s Mothers Rumor has it—Clean their floor They don’t cut up the budgie cage To make a jail door Or interrupt the bidding At bridge to say—“Three spades, And can I have your shirt To make an outfit for my maid?” Other People’s Mothers Must have a boring life How tedious to be A perfect housekeeper and wife No polystyrene sandwiches No fairies on the shelf No dreaming of another world You created by yourself Other People’s Mothers Have got their lives all wrong They have their Christmas once a Year We have it all year long!!! MINIATURES FOREVER! By Lynne Roberts 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
