I Am Nothing Like My Mother: Humor in Verse

These verses portray every woman at various stages of life. They are intended to amuse and to bring subconscious thoughts and attitudes to a place where we can all acknowledge them and have a hearty laugh. Through these pages we are able to consider worrisome things like “Her Last Chance for Happiness,” the inconsequentiality of “The Crumbs Inside the Silver Drawer,” the universal anxiety in “Moving the Fridge,” the caricature of “The Free Thinker,” and the absurdity of believing even for a second that we are “Nothing Like (Our) Mothers.”
