no choice

by Michele Schottelkorb

sleepless nights
not by choice

baby is growing
but puppies still have accidents
(at four years)

foul odor
killing my senses

but dutiful i am

a mother, it's true
i have become

whether a child, growing upper or beast

i shall clean up
after you

mothers are great. who said? we said, who used to be these stinkers, ourselves. but for you mommy, we would not have learned our thing or two. thank god for you. good moms are rare and a treat to have. and please don't get angry at us, mom, when we can't contain ourselves. it ain't our fault, it's just nature.
