The Complaint Deptartment Has Moved To An Undisclosed Location

Mamma told me not to be a damn fool
not to drop out of school just follow the
rules.

Mama told me not to stare at the sun
not to go on the run with that punk with
the gun.

But I didn't listen, not one little bit
I just wouldn't submit till I got sick of this
s**t.

Went and got my college degree
My mamma agrees that I'm back being
me.

Had a wedding, was a beautiful bride
live in a subdivide on the east
side.

But karma she is one funny b***h
there's always a glitch, I had birthed me a
witch.

Daughter i told her not to be a damn fool
not to drop out of school just follow the
rules.

Daughter I told her not to stare at the sun
not to go on the run with that punk with
the gun.

I figured eventually she would astound
and slow the hell down, and find higher
ground.

So if you are living your life in the fast lane
feeling no pain, when it happens to you just don't
complain.

Yup and Yup. Only I am a lot different from my mama - but sometimes I am just like her. My kids though - they're pretty much nothing like me. So....no looping here. I hope.

Thanks for reading. ; )

Mom's Know......
Light and fun but is seriously true. Chris hit the nail on the head.

[icelandicblue]

I am happy you found the irony of it all.

[Cryingkate]

I am happy you are happy :-) and I really did enjoy the visit away from some of my different kinda thoughts where I linger maybe too much.

[icelandicblue]

Oh I hear you and I know that place well. Occasionally I foray into humor and away from the angst which is central to most of my work.

[Cryingkate]

I guess thats what makes us all so needed though, Is that we all come from different viewpoints. I love my Spiritual Gardens and Cosmo adventures and Knights and Maidens, I love to explore diver places and then unwind with a good Romantic grounded earth landing.
Awe. ISn't it fun to travel where ever we want in thoughts and words?

Chuckling here... Life ...happens.

[icelandicblue]

Thanks Chris- I'm happy I could make you chuckle. It was all written in fun.

[Chris]

It was sooooooooooo true - nothing other than a chuckle ...fit.

[Frieda P]

Yep Mama said there'd be days like these....not complaining, just going along for this great ride you've pen'd! Enjoyed Anne.

[icelandicblue]

Mama told me not to come...Thanks Frieda.

[Frieda P]

I'm glad you didn't listen to your Mama so..........my pleasure. ;-)

[icelandicblue]

That ain't the way to have fun...but then again sometimes it is!

[Frieda P]

Ha I'm with you there...cheers!

[Ruth]

Had to smile at this...all the advice we got from parents, really does make sense now, the older we get...reflectively...intelligent twist x

[icelandicblue]

It can be a mirror of sorts. Thanks for the insight Poppy.

Hey very nice poem...I don't know if the poem was personal or not but I am sure things will work out for the good, but genuinely hope Karma exists, and if she does, remains a b***h...only then would justice prevail in its own way...

[icelandicblue]

It's a made up scenario...a line just jumped into my head and the rest as they say is history.

[Mark]

Very energetic. I can picture someone on a stage gesticulating while rapping this work. Well done.

[icelandicblue]

Thanks Mark. Happy Holidays!!

[Mark]

Merry Christmas :)

Lovely flow and true what goes around comes around in the next generation. Made me smile.

[icelandicblue]

Thanks for the smile Moon.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Mothers always wish the consequences you describe on their recalcitrant daughters, and when it happens to you, you really understand where your poor Mom was coming from. A little too late, of course. Well done, Anne. I enjoyed the read very much.

[icelandicblue]

Thanks Joyce, just something for fun.

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

Karma always comes full circle. LOL! It's not so funny when it happens to you, but it does lend understanding in the end. Cute poem.

[icelandicblue]

Thanks Linda! So nice to see you. I owe you some reads and comments. Happy Holidays!
