Motherly Angst (Limerick)
Motherly Angst (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A mom at the end of her rope
Said “It’s hopeless! I simply can’t cope.
Both the food and the band
Appear to be canned.
The rest of my kids must elope!”
Happy Mother’s Day!

that made me smile!
cute. I imagine there are many a mothers who wish multiple times during the planning process that the couple might choose to elope.
This is so cute, my mom planned by whole wedding in less than a week, she gets insanely excited about things and there is no stopping her lol
This poem made also me smile.
Oh, that touches a raw nerve at the moment! Son #2 is planning a wedding that I suspect most royal families in Europe would struggle to pay off. Elope! I cry!
Great limerick – from the father of 7 kids :-)
Rhyme and verses..all for the mother..:)
Yes, I always thought the idea of eloping was a good one!
We eloped, and 32 years later are still happy!
ha. funny…you know she’d miss her…eventually…
though eloping could be rather romantic…
I absolutely ADORE this limerick. I have BEGGED my daughter to elope. Seriously.
I love this lament of the mother at her daughter’s very expensive wedding. Nice rhythmic limerick. Happy Mother’s Day!
oh well the lament of a moment! :)
I suppose I should love weddings, but I’m just going to admit my practicality: they are so ridiculously expensive and I am all for the eloping! So funny Mad, nice one.
Nice short and sweet
cute!
Cute! I love all things limerick!
Love it!
Ha ha ha – the truth about motherhood. Well, one of the truths. I think you’ve excelled yourself. (But then, I often think that about your writings.)
Thanks so much everyone for your enthusiastic comments!
Cantelope isn’t a fruit….
it’s what the bride can’t do after her father has paid for the wedding.
