Humorous poem about me old Ma who loved watching mob movies, but I like comedy,
funnymen like Danny Kaye and Laurel and Hardy.









Poem Artwork

Tough Mama

Al Capone loved opera, Ma!
Don Corleone, the Godfather,
wrote poetry - omerta, silencio.
I have a battle on my hands;

Bugsy Malone, Ma! He knew his Yeats.
Gene Hackmann! a talented lyric poet.

She only wants to see justice
in the world, not blood lust, not senseless violence.
Eric Cantona, Ma, a big fan of Rimbaud - RAMBO?
If only Robert Burns not Robert De Niro!

Ok, I'll make her a poem she can't refuse -
I'll write her an Italian sonnet; there's more to life
than wise guys and Goodfellas.

Very witty and also a fine remembrance of your mom, Kenny. You made me think of one of my brothers and myself about movies; I like crime dramas, action films and the like while he prefers comedies. I enjoyed your poem. Love and peace,

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
