Fairy Tale Mum



Once upon a time
in Anonymously-Sited,
there was a mother
who was kale-benighted.

She coped ironically:
for 'garden' she said 'kaleyard';
she summoned to dinner
with 'come get ya kale! '

She's the mum in the tale:
'The Mum Who Went On The Run';
'The Mum
Who Ran Out On Ironical Fun.'

Great humour. With society today I think all of us wish to be a Fairy Tale Mum. Sounds like a humorous book. HNY!
