Best Mother In Law Poems

I never ever meant to ALIENATE Cruella my mother in law
But her CAPRICIOUS INURBANE manner was really pretty poor

Cruella was PERSPICUOUS in her opinion and she would never listen
I was just her SCAPEGOAT and many times my eyes would glisten 

I’d try my best to...

My Mother-In-Law has passed 
    so she is no longer here.
Mixed feelings I have 
    but a little less fear.
She was not my big fan, 
    was less tolerant than most.
She called me a bum... I...

Try not to roll your eyes
when she is giving helpful hints
of how she does everything.

Make sure her son (your hubby) 
calls her every Sunday 
and offer  to help her with her gardening chores
even though you detest everything
to do with gardening

Take her a cooked casserole...

A l i e n a t e  me from the mother-in-law,
malignant by nature with many flaws-
“Oh don’t try to flatter me!
You’re inurbane, can’t you see!”
I surely failed getting luck of the draw!

His mother can sure be quite capricious,
and most of the time can...

My Mother In Law

Saw a view appearing to be panoramic,
Of me while I had laid in my hammock;
For ugliness there was no known cure;
Much more then anyone could endure.

Instead of being on welfare or relief,
Living beyond budget was our belief;
Wife had wanted to knock me...

With only one look it ruptured my spleen
The ugliest creature I've ever seen
You'd know if you ever saw
It's called my mother-in-law
And smells like the gas produced from a bean...

She never understood...
the pain her words inflicted.
Year after year the comments came....
like salt poured in an open wound.
She never understood before...
the damage it has done...
I hope some day she will...cause this isn't any fun.
To all her friends and kin...
about her son...there was  no end...

she lived far away 
the phone to communicate
first question asked


always check weather
then how are you doing now
a happy response


want her back again
two weeks for pleasure visit
wished for us again

The way you walk unsteadily,
But those wrinkled hands made dishes heavenly
Your words are straightforward, sometimes spicy
But it contains nectar with perfect quality

Tenacity of yours become an allurement 
Upon the reflection of the ideal mother on earth

I grabbed your hand in the middle of our walk
I...

My Mother In Law Just Did Die

Lee McCarroll Webster died around
One AM today. We were just notified
b the Batesville, Arkansas care home
near the Whitewater River. God had
allowed us to see her one last time.
Dementia and old age took their toll.
She did not recognize us. Also,...

You'll never know.
The void in me you have filled
Something's i was missing in my life
Some of the values...

There once was a man who started to shake
The day he was married his heart would break
It happened the day he saw
His ugly mother-in-law
'Twas way too much for the poor man to take


Okay I lied it wasn't a good mother-in-law poem...

There’s nothing like a mother in law.
My mother in law is quite a trip.
Every time she gets up from a chair 
she has to let one rip.

I mean, you will never participate
in a fart like one of these.
You know without a doubt 
who cracked that...

MY MOTHER-IN-LAW IS POISONING ME!

I think my mother-in-law is poisoning me.
The electric range is smelling strange,
She tests the smoke detector by cooking everyday....
Now the entire kitchen is acting deranged.
Semolina at 3:30,
Mercury hits 120 degrees!
Nausea and stomach cramps are rising in me,
Red-sauced tripe is afflicting me.
Outside...

Mother In Law Tree

What if I was to see a certain tree
Appearing in poem written by me
Saying what tree was and was not
Never sweating or ever getting hot.

Next to tree was field that had stone
While it was always standing  alone
Then again to me it...
