My name is not mom today.


My name is not mom today.
Why is that? You say.

Mom is on a pretend vacation you see.
Taking a break from your skinned knee.

Away from I want juice
and not those shoes.

Away from I don't want to
and I'll ignore you.

Away from I won't eat that
and I want a fruit snack.

Away from don't pinch your sister,
that's mean, and don't hit her.

Away from don't bite your brother,
please just listen to your mother.

My brain is mush can't you see
it's an over cooked zucchini.

I'm exhausted, haven't slept,
is it bedtime yet?

These kids are driving me insane,
oh how I love them just the same.

My name is not mom today.
Just kidding, they'll keep calling me it anyway.
