The first funny Mothers Day poem on this page is friendly and nice. And here is a tip: Be nice to your mother!!!

mother and child

I've Known You
I’ve known you since my day of birth,
(perhaps a few months more).
There’s lots of nice things I could tell,
(but I refuse to bore).

You’re smart. You’re great. You’re all the best.
(There’s much more I could say.)
But I can only think of one. . .
It’s Happy Mother’s Day!

The second funny Mothers Day poem is almost too nice to be funny. It's not quite mushy, as I don't really like mushy poems. But read on and decide for yourself.





shopping bag

If I Could Choose
If I could choose a mother,
I’d choose a mom who’s fun,
Who likes to take me shopping
And won’t stop till we’re done.

I’d choose a mom who listens
When I have things to say,
Who when she sees I’m troubled
Will make the time to stay.

It’s not about baked cookies
(though those are good, it’s true!)
If I could pick and choose a mom,
You know that I’d choose you!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Funny Mothers Day poem number three is more whimsical than funny. But I like whimsy. And so might your mom!

cup of tea

Zanzibar
My mother went to Zanzibar
To get a cup of tea.
The trip cost seven grand (or more).
The cup of tea was free.

My mother went to Timbuktu
To pass an afternoon or two.
She paused a bit to write a poem,
Then took the quickest shuttle home.

My mother went to Tennessee
To take a southern shopping spree.
She had such fun; I know it’s true.
I tagged along, went shopping too!

My mother went to Kankakee,
This time around, invited me.
We both wore filmy floaty clothes.
My mom has fun – and on she goes.

I wrote the next funny Mother's Day poem about a hundred years ago (give or take seventy-five years) when my kids were young and frustrated with the amount of time I spent on the phone.




phone My Mother's On the Phone Again!
My mother's on the phone again.
It makes my mood grow sour,
Waiting for the talk to stop. . .
I think it's been an hour.

My mother's on the phone again.
Will she get off? No way!
It's either Gramma or Aunt Kit. . . .
I think it's been a day.

My mother's on the phone again.
I talk, but she won’t hear.
She said, "Just one more minute, Hon'." . . .
I think it's been a year.

She hangs it up, gives me a hug.
We start to talk and then . . .
I hear a ring. It's not . . .
Oh, no! She's on the phone again!
