She covets her pocketbooks and has no two alike, <br />And every month she goes to Belk's to buy a new one. <br />At 88, she still drives, with her huge sunglasses, <br />Making right turns like an 18-wheeler does. <br />She drives an average of 10 miles and hour, <br />Including stops when she remembers to she does. <br />Mom loves to attend all the social functions in town, <br />Especially the showers and weddings of the smitten young. <br />Armed with her pocketbook she'll sashay over to the buffet, <br />Fill her pocketbook with treasure, pigs-in-a-blankets, <br />Watercress and pimiento cheese sandwiches <br />All of which she'll eat later but she never does. <br />She always told me she grew up in the depression, <br />and a responsible mother would never turn down food. <br />They all harden and calcify like the plaque in her arteries, <br />Acquiescent to the fact, I empty her pocketbooks weekly. <br />'Mom, when are you going to quit driving I asked? ' <br />'Oh about the same time that they quit having weddings and luncheons! '<br /><br />Barry A. Lanier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beware-b-author-favorite/
