Mother's Day

Mother’s Day

Andrea; being a wife and mother,

Doesn’t make you any less sinister,

Nor give you favour over another

In your bid to become prime minister.

In your eyes I see cold severity,

Indeed, I see it in your colleagues’ too;

The hardship and pain of austerity,

I ascribe to them as well as to you.

On this day of mothers’ celebration,

I wish to convey to those who may care

That many poor mothers of our nation

Have, by your party, suffered much despair,

And all mothers surely must see the guile

And the machinations behind your smile.
