Like Mam
You clean my dishes like Mam
You hoover my floor like Mam
You change the bedding like Mam
You like folding clothes like Mam
You think i'm crazy like Mam
You wait in the sun like Mam
You outgrew kisses like Mam
You grew a pot belly like Mam
You don't like me laying on it like Mam
You surprise me sometimes like Mam
You like roadtrips like Mam
You weed the garden to its bones like Mam
You hate being alone like Mam
You could wake the dead like Mam
You tuck me in bed like Mam
You don't let me die like Mam
But you don't say Mam like Mi mum.
