Happy Mother’s Day to my own sweetie
A momma I helped you become,
As a wife and a mother
You’re surpassed by no other,
In fact, dear, you are quite the plum!
I wish we could go to Tahiti
A vacation in line with your worth
But the costs are so high
Such a distance to fly!
Instead, then, I bought you a purth.
I’d scribble it bold in graffiti
What a wonderful mother you is
Our kids are so lucky,
To have you, dear ducky,
You’re great! (let me give you a kiss.)
I ordered a handbag (a purth) online as a Mother’s Day gift and checked the Is-this-a-gift? box which gave me 160 characters to use for a greeting to be included with the package. I tried to insert the first two stanzas but only the first fit, so that’s all she’ll get with the package. I added a third stanza so I could post a more complete poem here as a cyber-card to my dear from her word-crazy husband.
