My Mother-In-Law

My Mother-In-Law

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I knew her for the longest time

We met and fell in love

Married and had a few children

Everything was perfect until that day

All hell let loose as soon as she stepped in

The door flew open and she began to yell

The kids were a mess and they were running around

The food just was not good enough

We didn’t make enough money

And yes, even the dog was too small for her

Luckily, she was not in the best of health

So, I went out to buy her a suitable grave

I found just the one to keep her mouth shut

So, when she does die I promise you one thing

My mother-in-law is not going to haunt me

That cage I bought will have her held tight

So, she can scream all she wants

I don’t think the worms will mind
