To all single mothers who did their best
Who shouted “have you cleaned your teeth
Put on a new vest”?
Who served them a meal,when they’d just like a rest!
Shined your shoes
And buttoned your coat
Unclamped you’re mouth
To put medicine down your throat
“Do your homework”
Is your usual chant...
    
When you’re tucked up in bed
I climb down the stairs.
Open a bottle of wine
I’ll just have the one?
It’s so hard sometimes
Being a single mum ....

I looked down at the couple,and watched them intently..
        As  they sat on the sofa..
      I felt anxious,which was a new feeling l hadn’t experienced before..
    Why do I feel this rising panic and impending doom?
     I don’t like it..
feeling this emotion and looking down at the woman, l feared for her..
Suddenly the man was shouting, and lashed out,striking the woman hard in the face..l felt anger..l loved the woman..
  And with all my strength l ripped myself away from the wall
Landing on the man smashing him with my shards that cut like razors and stabbed at his skin tearing it...
“ that will teach you” l said..
     “ don’t touch her...she’s mine” .......

It was an ordinary day ,in every way
I made you your breakfast
But you chucked it away.?

Putting your coat on in silence...
You closed the front door
  I didn’t think then
I wouldn’t see you anymore
  
You went to the park instead of work.
At the end of this day
A mother would hurt..
For you would ****** a child
You’d studied for weeks
Chatting away to them
And giving them sweets..

Until one day.....
You could stand it no more
And you grabbed her hand
Then started to walk..
  
Your car was parked at the end of the road..
The child was content..
In fact quite composed..
But she would be of course..
As she knew you well..
Knew the line of you face
Because you’d groomed her so well..
She put her little hand in yours
Totally trusting
And so in awe..
  
The police car drew up
At the house by the park
Where a little girl was snatched
Before it went dark..
How many people were in the park today?
When a child was abducted
And taken away...

He stood at the door as he showed me his badge..
And looking back now..
Thought he looked rather sad..
“Have you seen your husband?
Do you know where he is”?
“ we need to question him?
“ urgently” you said..
“ he’s at work?
Why wouldn’t he be”?( l said)
“ and later he’ll be home
And I will cook our tea”...
“ what’s this about”?
I said...
“ what has he done”?
“ A child’s been abducted from the park today”
7 years old and tiny for her age..
“ we just want to question him at this stage”
( you said)
“ do you mind If we wait until he gets back?”
But by then you would have smothered her
In a rented flat..
Disposed of her body in a plastic sack
And driven away...
At the end of what started
As an ordinary day......

I've got a fungus!
       That's invaded my nails
      They've gone all green!!
      And it makes me want to wail!
        My sons weddings in July
         And I wanted to look so fab..
     But my poor little finger nails
       Are looking so sad...
       Two of them are looking very loose
        Like when you're 7 and missing
         You're front tooth..  
     But... gel nails are a girls best friend!
      So I'll still look glam
     At the wedding in the end!.

I think I'm a nymphomaniac?
             I can't leave *** alone!
               Whether it's text ***
                Or on the phone
                We're at it like rabbits...
                  In the bedroom
                   In the hall
            Varieties the spice of life
            I'll just take it all!
            In the garden
               In the lift
                Under the table
            On top of a cliff...
       It's an endorphin hit
         As long as I am active....
         And he's young and fit!!....

If wasting time were a crime
                They should do time...
         Endless, mindless messages
            That go on from 9 til 5
             Then 6 til 10
          Until you tell them when?
               YES! I will meet you for a drink!
          " how about Saturday?"
             " what do you think?"
              " yeah.. saturdays great!"
               Well I guess that's a date!
               Saturday comes, and Saturday goes...
              Cos. When I turned up
              You didn't show??
                TIME WASTER!!!!
