PERFECT MOTHERS DAY POEMS

PERFECT MOTHER'S DAY POEMS FOR THE POP CULTURE-LOVING MOM IN YOUR LIFE

A POEM TO A MOTHER FROM HER SON, BY RYAN GOSLING

Hey mom, I know want to feel special today,

Even if you won't admit it.

Hey mom, for dinner I'll stay,

You're the gravy to my biscuit.

Hey mom, I bought you a bouquet of flowers,

Even though you're already as sweet.

Just a small token to all of your powers,

Now let me buy you a pedicure and treat those feet.

AN ODE TO TELEVISION MOMS

PIN IT

You gave me tough love like Roseanne,

And made me laugh like Lorelai Gilmore,

You were never cold like Betty Draper,

Or as smothering as Estelle Costanza;

But you were strong like Tami Taylor,

And goofy like Claire Dunphy.

You have the fierceness of Clair Huxtable,

And the selflessness of Marge Simpson.

But you're better than all of the moms on TV put together,

There's no script for your wisdom,

Or a director for your kindness,

Because no one could ever write a mom quite like you.

ME WITHOUT MOM: A DEJECTION

PIN IT

Leslie Knope without waffles,

Liz Lemon without a sandwich —

Darkness.

Dr. Mindy Lahiri without wine bras,

Jessica Day without True American —

Sadness.

Daenerys without her dragons,

RuPaul without wigs —

Emptiness.

All of it, me without you.

Happy Mother's Day.
