Poems - Leave the Lights on Mom

Leave the Lights on Mom

by thewholesoul

[Read the first person with a child like voice for maximum effect]

“Leave the lights on Mom”

“But it’s day time now my son
And it doesn’t make much sense at all
To leave the meter run”

“But I watched a scary movie
And it made me wet my bed”

“That was last week honey
And Hobbits don’t exist Alfred”

“But leave the lights on Mommy
I’m so frightened of the dark”

“I’ve switched them on my silly son
You’re eyes are closed that’s why it’s dark” !

“So you’ll leave the lights on Mom?”

“Yes Alfred, you know I will
But know I will no more
You never help us pay the bill
You’re thirty bloody four” !!!

That last line had room for a lot of colorful words... I am having some fun putting them in, in my mind that is... Well done... BWP... James...

G'day Conor...
Although I cackled away after reading the punch line, it suddenly hit me that this bloke is one of my nephews. I've heard another poem on a similar line Conor...about a mother still breast feeding her son who is twenty-one.
I really had a good chuckle here, thank you Conor.
