Found this poem and thought it was too good not to share:
A mother in law, the stories all say,
Is a thing to be feared by nihgt or by day.
For you just never know when the man comes that you love
Will come out the phrase, "Well, what my mother does..."
A mother in law is a fearsome thing
But she's part of the package
When you take her son's ring.
She's your husband's Mom- the woman who knows
How to bake lasagna and launder his clothes.
Her advice may be timely but not always loved
By the wife who must treat he with tender kid gloves.
Oh, a mother in law is a fearsome thing
But she's part of the package
When you take her son's ring.
