My Mommy and Me

Today is my mom's birthday and to prove just how much of a momma's boy I am, here is a poem that I wrote for her birthday last year, entitled, "My Mommy and Me".

Once upon a time there was a woman named Shirley
Born and raised in New York this is who gave birth to me

That woud make her my mommy and for that I'm thankful
She's a strong, compassionate, caring person and that's no bull

I couldn't ask for a better mommy and I'm not just saying that
She's never done anything wrong, even if she did replace our cat

She's always been there for me no matter the situation
Her daily calls and 'nagging' is what got me through to graduation

She only wants what's best for me, which is why she let me quit the Army
From shopping at the Gap to sending care packages she's always thinking of me

She might not like everything about me, especially my hair
But she'll always be there to pay my train fare

I love her so much that's why I wrote this poem instead of sending a card
Working two jobs for all those years must have been very hard

I love my mom and wouldn't change anything about our relationship
I just wish she wouldn't call me Craigala in public, it's not very hip

We haven't gotten to see each other that much over the last few years
But I'll be moving back home soon so there's no need to shed any tears

From going to the beach to having a BBQ they'll be lots to do
We should get along great just so long as I don't have to pick up any dog dodo

All in all, I can't imagine what my life would be like without her
I'm just so glad that we're always going to be together

I like the things I have and the situation I'm in
I couldn't have asked for a better kin

That's because my mommy and me get along so great
Even if I am complaining about what I just ate

My mommy and me make a great team
Now stop crying and go make me some ice cream

*Happy Birthday Mom
