I’m a mother with a son, two dogs and cat
I try to cook and clean but fail at that
After work, I want time to clear my head
But have to feed the dogs and cat instead
If they don’t get dinner, they get under my feet
When you fall on your face, it’s harder to scream
I’m just a gal with a job, a hubby and kid
Got no time for a facial or sweet spot to fill
Want a safe-room to hide from my family and pets
Sitting alone in the dark is as good as it gets
After the dogs and cat got food in their gut
Got to make an ingestible for my husband and son
If I don’t feed them, they get cranky and gruff
Don’t want a coup on my hands while juggling stuff
Cook is a four-letter word and meal is, too.
Can’t my family get their own damn food?
I’m just a gal with a job, a hubby and kid
Got no time for a facial or sweet spot to fill
Want a safe-room to hide from my family and pets
Sitting alone in the dark is as good as it gets
Gotta put food in the fridge or on the counter it sits
The stack in the sink needs a dishwasher rinse
I stick them on the shelf, as if a piece of puzzle to fit
If I put them in wrong, there’s no place for a dish
Want to push all the buttons and begin the soak
Before I stumble into hubby in the comatose zone
My son’s M.I.A., stuck in the World Wide Web
Outside, the dogs avoid the shock of the electric fence
Suddenly, the cat wants to be my friend
She shows it be scratching the counter’s edge
“Stop it!” I scream, then she hits the catnip
Hubby wakes up barking with the dogs, who want to come in
Oh, God, I don’t wanna open that door
I’ll never get a moment of quiet time du jour
Just want one day to clear my head of crap
That’s why I wrote this half-baked Mother’s Day Rap
I’m just a gal with a job, plus a hubby and kid
Got no time for a facial or sweet spot to fill
Want a safe-room to hide from my family and pets
Sitting alone in the dark is as good as it gets

How funny, Lauren! I love the whole thing. Son’s MIA, stuck in the world wide web…if I don’t feed them they get cranky and gruff…so many great lines. And perfect for Mother’s Day!
Thanks!!! I followed your lead with SEO and posting current stuff. I even stumbled it. Haven’t looked yet to see how many hits I got.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. I don’t usually like posting stuff on the same day I write it.
I woke the cat up rapping. That was hilarious. May you find peace and quiet and a money tree. Oh, and a meal tree for the family. 🙂
Rapping or wrapping?
I want a meal tree! Haven’t found one yet at the Stop & Shop.
This is hilarious… and it was a lot of fun to read out loud. My favorite part was when you said they could make their own damn food. haha XD Hopefully you had a stressless Mother’s Day!!
Hey, thanks!!!! Yes, my husband made dinner and cleaned up the mess. No dishes on the counter. Thanks for asking.
FUN!! And yet another host of reasons why I’m single!
hahahahha! I just escaped from their evil clutches.
hahahaha! Mothers Day may be over, but I’m still rapping!
We work 24/7. We deserve more than a one-day holiday.
Word, Sistah. Peace out! 😉
Happy Mother’s day to you.
