This poem is so funny. I think a lot of people will relate to it because most people don't like their Mother In-laws. I think you took us as readers on a nice journey
Thank you for sharing and visiting my blog. Chuck.

This was quite the poem! It covered the spectrum! It was nice to get her her praise where warranted! Nice work, however! sam

Mother-in-law
I wouldn't show her this Bernie- if you do and she laughs, you are a lucky man. Glad you liked the last post, One wonders how unstraight things are going to go. We don;t do this for the money.

Re: 2902
I think I misspelt it, it should read 'Pinny' short for pinafore.

mother-in-law
I guess you gotta be lucky - mine was a gem. Quirky, yes, but a gem all the same. (e.g. I got into her car one time and asked, "Aren't you going to buckle up?" "No," she answered,"I don't plan to have an accident." I thought about that one all day.). PS - What's a "piney"?
