                   Mom’s Running!

     You Know How Our Mom Loves to Run?

     These Past Few Months Have Not Been Fun,

     Since She Messed Up Her MCL!

     (That’s Not a Roman Numeral!)

     I Feel Bad for the Therapist

     Who Ordered Mom Cease and Desist!

     Our Mom Gets a LITTLE Cranky!
     Running is Her Coping Blankie!

     Then There’s All That Weight to Be Lost!

     Perhaps Two Pounds, Three at the Most!

     Mom May Think She’s the Great White Whale!

     That Myth Got Busted by Our Scale!

     But Now Mom’s Better!   She’s Been Cleared!

     Bella and I Heard!   We Both Cheered!

     First Mom Heads for the Desert Trails!

     Next Up Mountains, 'Cross Streams and Vales!

     Mom’s Running and We Feel Her Thrill!

     Like Our House Took One Huge Chill Pill!

     Like We Awoke from Some Strange Spells!

     No Longer Wander on Egg Shells!
