Gentle Mother

Happy Mothers’ Day, to those who are celebrating today.

I won’t say my mum’s cooking was bad,
But on Sundays when I was a lad,
She cooked bone-dry roast meat,
Gravy set like concrete,
I turned veggie but pitied my dad.

Separated with a grown/flown daughter. In life, I designed IT systems, taking a career break as a bicycle mechanic, until interrupted by a stroke in 2016, aged 48. On my way back into full-time work, I developed health-related apps and performed voluntary work. I enjoy composing limericks and flash fiction in my spare time.
