Mother In Law

by LIJ Red

His stingy griping made me sick almost as much as his puny prick all he did was rush off to work, reading his Bible, the stupid jerk. It's how his momma raised the fool his Army dad dead, him preschool. That old cancerous dying sack said "Hurt my boy and I'll be back." A house and kids is worse than jail Big laughing Leroy, he liked tail We danced and drank and life was swell hung like a hoss, he's tougher'n Hell. The Wimpling caught us late one night he stood up noble, ready to fight And Leroy laughed, snatching off his head and pissing on him as he kicked and bled. Well, life got tough after that day. That Leroy just won't share his pay I covered for him, he went free To kick shit outa the kids and me. Then one cold dark December day the Welfare took the kids away. Alone and scared I pray tonight as through the frost and pale moonlight... --I hear me whine in abject fear but frozen solid, I'll wait right here-- She's grey and gaunt but like she said She's coming back, with Leroy's head.
