My face is smiling as she arrives
There's nothing for me to say
I go and hide the kitchen knives
Well it's only for one day

^^

Brilliant, Milly. Your rhyming is smooth as water off glass in this one and the subject matter is...well, let's just say relatable somewhat!
Hope someone nominates this. I would but am out of votes.

take care,
Ben

Haha I love it, Milly! I feel for you and I wish I could come over and find something to make her trip ov-I mean, something constructive to say. Good for you, and I'm sorry you have to deal with that but it sounds like it's worth it to you :) My heart goes out to you in your time of need :P

Hahaha...Milly! This gave me a really good laugh. The ending is so fab! And as Ben says, oh my, this is some flawless rhyming too.

Awww, I am out of nominations as well!

OMG! This is so absolutely TRUE! I'm proper giggling over here at the knives bit :-)
I still can't nominate but I'm adding it my faves and will use it as a reminder in years to come to not be the MIL from hell! x

This did make me laugh Milly :)

Miss Milly, as you say its only for a day. I love your truth in poetry, so delicately raw.. but packs a punch

Much love

Love this Milly! Dealing with ones mother in law can be trying. I love how you put the knives away. You are right, it's only for one day. Hugs-

Hey Milly! You captured the moments leading towards the visit really well!

Very well done Milly, and how true, I think of a song from many years ago called; "Mother-in-law"
Very funny and cute rhyming, I nominated, I think it's a Win!

It's okay, she's not his real mom.

We all know and have experienced the visit with "mama dearest". Your sense of humor I love it. Be blessed

It's never easy to please our mother in law.
Well penned, Milly.
