Subject(s): Mothers; Obesity


My Mother's cheeks are fat,
My Mother's nose is thin,
Her teeth are made of bone
But they are filled with tin.

My Mother's nose is blue,
My Mother's eyes are green,
She is my boss and pal,
She is my regent queen.

My Mother's ears are small,
My Mother's face is big,
Her hair is all her own,
She never wears a wig.

My Mother likes to eat,
She also likes to cook,
She likes to sit up most all night
Reading a naughty book.

My Mother dresses nice,
And she has lots and lots
Of clothes all pink and blue,
And mauve with yellow dots.

My Mother likes to boss
And tell me what to do,
But sometimes we swap round
And then I run her too.

My Mother cannot sleep
Unless she's full of food,
Candy and soup and beans
And prunes that have been stewed

My Mother loves me so
She loves each word I write,
And every rhyme I make
Rhymes just for her delight.
