Mother Mimi 3/8/06

Mother Mimi
Can you hear
Baby's screaming
In your ear?
All the children
Run amok
And on your teats
The wee ones suck.

Mother Mimi,
Fetch the switch.
You've become
A raging bitch
All the children
Cower now
Can't compete
With such a row.

Mother Mimi
Hides alone
Someone's knocking
We're not home.
Finally she
Prays for grace.
Peace returns
To frantic face.
