1419 - Mother

A visit to my mother’s bungalow
With little Josie, her grand-daughter, in
Tow, proved to be great fun. And tomorrow
Is my mum’s 78th birthday. Who’d think
This was so, for she’s still live and kicking
Lots of laughs as we ate, and there’s no sign
Of slowing just yet. We enjoy eating
And chatting. Duck below the washing line
And you will find ants. Dig the soil and find
A few worms wriggling, a little below
The surface. Add to this mix some playing
Of keyboard and melodica. A fine
Combination, and her influence shows
Through generations still developing
