For all you wives and mothers... And everyone else

I am taking an online class this term and I came upon this poem while studying. I find it humorous.

"Marks"

My husband gives me an A
for last night's supper,
an incomplete for my ironing,
a B plus in bed.
My son says I am average,
an average mother, but if
I could put my mind to it
I could improve.
My daughter believes
in Pass/Fail and tells me
I pass. Wait 'til they learn
I'm dropping out.

- Linda Pastan (1978)

I just found it rather entertaining. We all need something to make us smile :)
