Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 To Any Reader of Mom's Book

My Mom, a child psychologist,

Wrote a book about her child, me.

It made the New York Times best list,

And a bestseller it did be.

I cannot kid that as a kid

Lots of real problems Mom compiled

On behaviors I said and did,

No doubt I was a troubled child.

A single Mom, she did her best,

And helped me as much as she could,

Knowing that book got me real stressed.

But I did turn out pretty good.

Mom's child grew up okay instead,

And grew out of wetting the bed.
