At first you were so nice

All smiles and laughter

I was so pleased for my Dad

I hoped he would be happy ever after

Soon you were married

Living the dream

Flowers and sunshine

Together for a lifetime it would seem

But the cracks in your facade started to show

Neighbours would tell of the tantrums you'd throw

The jealousy and nagging

Of sexual conquests you were bragging

In public you were still smiles and laughter

In private you were hell ever after

You excluded us from your life

So much trouble and strife

Then suddenly Dad died

What crocodile tears you cried

Such a scene you did make

In the middle of the wake

As soon as you had the money

You disappeared to climes sunny

A new man you had found

And Dad not even cold in the ground

I hope you never have a lover

You treats you as badly

As you did us kids

My hated step mother
