This is very similar to poem called Moaning by Michael Armitage but the use of "shit" makes it feel much more violent when I read it.

Here is the link to the original poem if you want to read that one too.

Too funny! My mother had seven children (including me); there was a lot of yelling and some smacking too. Good stuff, Walt. Love and peace,

It sound to me like in a Polygamous home. Where one woman ( fearless ) dies and leave her children behind. Valerie thanks. Its makes me rethinks if i want to still stay in roots with the old African tradition ONE MAN MORE WOMEN.
Love it

Mother always knows best. Hilarious write Walt. My mother always said,"go pick a switch". That's all I need say even today with my adult children.
Missed you.

an attitude adjustment of the proper quantity it would seem -- from a guy's perspective, not many women they meet in their lives, ever measure up to the standard of their mom -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael
