The worlds greatest invention

I’ve got a great invention

I use it all the time

It does the things that I should do

It always works just fine

It cleans my room it tidies up

And puts my stuff away

Does chores I don’t have time to do

So I can go and play

I never have to worry

If I run a little late

I find my meals are cooked for me

And ready on a plate

It doesn’t need much maintenance

To make it sweetly hum

Just a little oiling,

With the words “I love you mum”

Humorous yet totally heartwarming!

Congrats on another superb piece of work, my friend! You make it seem so easy to write poetry that one wonders what all the fuss is about!

Great write John. So many of us forgot about dear old mom when we were kids only to recognize much later what she did. A well oiled machine for sure and the worlds greatest invention. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water." If government is the answer, it's a stupid question!

Thanks Rett, its true, mums do far more than we realise, but those three little words make them putty in the hands of their kids, thanks for reading. Regards John
