Mommy Loves You

A mother's love knows no boundaries

Old Man Winston sat on a wall

He taunted the children who walked by

Their parents often heard them call

He always escaped as he was so sly

~~~~~

Old Man Winston went too far

The children threw stones at him

Hard enough so his body began to mar

He was laughed at by Little Boy Jim

~~~~~

Old Man Winston wanted revenge

On all of those pesky children

Little Boy Jim was sitting on a bench

He crept closer while staying hidden

~~~~~

Little Boy Jim's mother, Mrs. Milton

Saw him approach her oblivious son

She quickly tackled Old Man Winston

He tried his might but couldn’t run

~~~~~

Mrs. Milton called out to her son

Dinner was cooked and ready on the table

There were dishes more than one

Meat of Old Man Winston, it's true not fable

    I liked the twist at the end. At the end of the fourth stanza, would the final be better if it were: But try as he might, he couldn't run.
