"Special" Kiss

We knew that something was amiss
When bro' refused her "special" kiss
And asked instead for G I Joe
For having got a brilliant score
So mum was glum for half the day
Then sprightly she sprang up to say,
"Money can buy that and this,
There's nothing like a mother's kiss"
Beofore her son could even speak
She grabbed his shoulders, kissed his cheek
And with a most triumphant air
Sat back proudly on her chair
Till brother smirked and in a flash
Said....thanks, now could I have some cash!"

I like this too.

I wonder, Shubhodeep, if Nicole meant that your poems are quite deep - in a good way of course.

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes :)

I like the rhythm of this poem. The ending made me laugh out loud. Literally :)

Delightfully frothy,
Nice change of gear...
But why do I keep seeing a deeper & darker subtext to it, that of the increasing materialism which infects the young & old alike?
Perhaps I am being too cynical.Must get myself checked soon
;)
