A Scary Mother in Law Poem

The Headless Mother-In-Law - The night was black, a blanket of stars knitted into the invisible sky covering the woods where the evil mother-in-law was holed-up....

The sky was black, Sun had vanished for the night,

As the Mother in Law sat by the flickering campfire light,

Hunkered down, holed-up until daylight,

Gretta thinking the situation wasn't at all right.

For she and her hubby Steve, were on holiday,

The night was suppose to be fun and gay.

But Mother, she had begged to come along,

Singing to Steve her familiar, "I'm so lonely" song.

Steve had relented when he should have repented,

Telling Mother to hop on board, Gretta's moment dented.

Mother would gawk at them all evening long,

The protective, overbearing, Great King Kong.

Then Mother was busy ordering Gretta & Steve about,

As Gretta sat enraged, blanketed in a deep pout.

Steve seen the errors of his ways too late,

He already knew his forthcoming fate.

Gretta was right to be quite mad,

For that, Steve was exceptionally sad,

He knew that in the tent, he would get none,

Mother had assuredly won & stolen their fun.

It wouldn't have been bad if Mother had been good,

Like all wise, wonderful mothers should.

But his mean mother was not nice, she was rather naughty,

And he would have preferred Gretta naughty, instead of haughty.

Yes, Steve had learned his lesson too late,

His gullible spirit had sealed his fate.

But next time, too bad for Mother could not come,

For although Steve was gullible, he wasn't dumb.
