Just found this little gem in a bedside drawer:
Yo I'm a mother
I aint no fucker
I got 3 kids
I'm in the Biz
of keeping them in shoes
Shoe Biz
Poo Biz
The toilet gets grimy
The hubby gets slimey
And I'm feeling crimey
Wassup at the market?
Where'm I gonna park it?
Car park's full
RAV's got no pull
Up Punt Road Hill
So what
In the ghetto
You care 'bout all this?
It's all guns and drugs and hos and sheeyit
Well my reality
Don't think it's mundaneity
I'm going for totality
Don't think it's all a girls' lunch
All talk of play
and waxed vee jays
and chardonnay
It's dirty it's tough
And I've had enough
So I might just leave the hood
My hood is St Kilda
Where nobody kills ya
Not these days, anyway
It's all types of gentrification
And Fitzroy St fancy mastication
But still a little side-street masturbation
Condoms in gutters
Blow jobs, beers for nutters
What's the matter?
Anyway.
And then this, from a small boy:
To Melba,
I love you. I couldn't of survived without you. Your the reason I'm still alive. Your the best!
From Small Boy.
People who know the history of this blended family will appreciate how much this means. I need to keep this close to me, and to my heart, so I can continue to do my best for this child, and his sister. I'd forgotten he wrote me this so I'm glad I keep every skerrick of note, picture and meaningful word.
Happy Wednesday everyone, and love each other well.

Aw, Small Boy's note is lovely.
Like the poem too, it's like a suburban mum's answer to Bukowski!

But you do have v sweet and nice kids.
A few years ago, I got a card from the kid saying "I love you as much as the whole universe". I reminded her of it recently and she said she doesnt love the whole universe all that much anyway. Ahhh.. the mind games. :-) It was said in jest, I think.
