When My Son Put My Heart In My Throat
Then Chucked My Throat Under A Bus
Never that inkling
To ponder my child’s thinking
Mom’s busy today
***
Son strapped in stroller
Slaps three butts like a roller
As ladies we pass
***
They all turn around
And stare at three-year-old found
Laugh so hard they cry
Thank you for taking a peek at my entry for the Vocal Snafu Senryu Challenge!
Yes, this really did happen to me while pushing my son in his stroller through a crowded popular London market, and there wasn't enough time to be embarrassed. So, for all those who think they may have seen and heard it all about parenthood, I guarantee you, children will unceremoniously blast your knowledge/experiences to smithereens.
