My Wife--A Haiku

Mom of seven kids;
Wife of a difficult man;
She deserves a prize.

Again, the haiku fails me as a method of communication.  So little can really be expressed in 17 syllables.  I think I'll try a poem that's a little more free-form.

Mom. . .
. . .I don't wanna get up.
. . .can I have a snack?
. . .can you wipe me?
. . .where's my blanket?
. . .I'm hungry!
. . .waaaah!
. . .I love you.
. . .can I have a snack?
. . .I didn't hear you.
. . .Mommmmmm!
. . .do I have to?
. . .I'm hungry.
. . .waaaaah!
. . .DDjjjj! (Malachi)
. . .Owww!
. . .He hit me!
. . .can I have a snack?
. . .can you wipe me?
. . .wayo's my unduwaya? 
. . .I need to go potty.
. . .I don't want to take a bath.
. . .Where's my toothbrush?
. . .I'm hungry!
. . .I don't wanna go to bed.
. . .Can you tuck me in?
. . .But I don't want Daddy to tuck me in.
. . .Can I have a drink?
. . .Goodnight Mommy.  I love you.


. . .Mommmmmmm!
