Lively Limericks for Mother’s Day! 🌷

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry
A pink rose for our moms whom we miss so much.

It’s that ‘limerick’ time again, and I had fun writing this collection for the day created especially for moms! I hope you find them delightful, but a couple are less delightful and more factual. Enjoy!

Unselfish

She is a classy, lovely mother
Who puts herself last behind others
Their care comes first
Health, hunger, or thirst
They love her – daughter and brother.

Summer

How special to become a mother
Devoted but not to smother
To love and raise
Till the end of her days
Mothers are the essence of summer!

Special Day

The special day comes every year
But not all hold their mothers dear
Words that criticize
Make tears leak from eyes
Sad those hearts didn’t hold their babes near

Smiles and Giggles

What a miracle to be a mom
Caring for babes with a heart of calm
Relish in their smiles
And giggles heard for miles
Music to a mother’s ear, a balm.

Not Fragile

Mothers are an exceptional class
Their work ethic no one can surpass
Cooking and cleaning
Diapering and weaning
They are strong, not fragile like glass!

Warrior Soul

Caring for her children is her role
Keeping them safe and happy is her goal
A multitasker
Sought after
Her skills are plenty, a warrior soul!

DNA

DNA does not a mother make
DNA may produce a mother fake
Who only thinks of herself
Baby’s needs on the shelf
Baby’s life unimportant and at stake.

Flair

A mother’s talents are exhaustible
But clearly, they are not implausible
Many balls in the air
She juggles with flair
Her demeanor is surely laudable!

Golden Worth

A mother’s love comes from her heart
That blooms and glows right from the start
Cradling at birth
A golden worth
She’ll give her All to do her part!

Do you have a favorite or two? 😁
Happy Mother’s Day Weekend to all the loving and unselfish moms who have hearts of gold, and to the moms who have left our world, but who live in our hearts. I’m thinking of my mom and mother-in-law, Doris and Diane. 🩷🌷

  4. Right on Lauren. I think you have captured the essence. But having watched Peggy and our daughter I could add one more. Grin.
    A mother is known for how she cares,
    And keeps her child in a loving lair,
    But threaten her child,
    She can become quite wild,
    And turn into a raging bear.

      1. My daughter sometimes refers to herself laughingly as Mama Bear. My most important rule when dealing with bears over my years of backpacking was to never get between a mama bear and her cubs! Bad things can happen.
        I passed your message on to, Peggy. My Thursday post will feature her Mother’s Day ‘bouquet,’ The Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. The flowers were incredible. Especially the Azaleas.

    1. Thanks so much, John, and I know, they are sad. When I was writing these, I realized that not all moms earn their children’s love and respect. My sister and her husband adopted their sons, so that’s where the DNA came from. Happy Mother’s Day to the producer! 😄

  12. A great celebration of mothers, Lauren, along with the recognition that not all situations fit on a Hallmark card. It’s important to acknowledge that, otherwise the day is just a glossing-over. I wish you a very happy Mother’s Day, my friend!

    1. Thanks so much, Steve, for your wonderful comment, and I love your words: “not all situations fit on a Hallmark card.” So well expressed. My sister and her husband adopted their two sons, so their family inspired the DNA limerick. Thanks for your lovely wishes, and I wish the same to your wife. Have a wonderful day! ❤️

      1. Thank you, Lauren, and thanks from my dear one! We’ve had a lovely day and I hope it has been good for you, too. 🤗

      1. My pleasure Lauren 🥰
        Oh that is so kind of you.🙏
        I do hope you enjoy 🤗
        Many hugs back to you my friend. Xo
        I am on holiday from 14/5 but will be peeking in!
        Thanks so much again ❣️

  20. All brilliant limericks, Lauren. I enjoyed each and every one.

    Happy Mother’s Day to you! I’ll bet you are in the top 10!

    🌟🌹💖xo

    1. Thanks, Resa! I’m glad you enjoyed this collection. I may compile limericks for a book someday. 🙂 Thoughts?
      Anyway, I had a great day with hubby and son, and chatted with daughter who lives in TN. All good, though we miss our moms. Hope you had a lovely day! Hugs xoxoxoxo

      1. Limericks have not held a popular spot in recent poetry works, to my knowledge.
        As I like to buck trends, that means I think a book of limericks is a fab idea.

        There is something fanciful about them… and yours are more heartfelt, not rude.
        I think you took the limerick to a new place.

        I see fanciful drawings when I read your limericks. Putting them with drawings could be a way to go.
        If you mail me 2 or 3 of your faves, perhaps a drawing will come out of me.
        I never know, so no promises, but it’s worth an email, and me sitting with a pencil to see what happens.
        I’m working on a portrait at the moment, so no rush.
        Of course only if this appeals to you. You’ll never hurt my feelings if it doesn’t.
        xoxo❤️
