My Mother Fainted

I laughed one morning,
when my mum took my sister
to a near by hospital,
hoping her to die any time.

The doctor asked her,
what's wrong?
and she answered straightly away
that my beloved  daughter,
she keeps on getting fat day and night.

She's putting on weight,
and seriously sick all the times
from morning up to night.

The doctor examined her,
turned to my mum,
oh, mummy!  i don't know how to tell you this,
but your beloved girl,
she's having a capital D.

My mum jumped  and asked her self,
what and how comes?
she can't be like that!
i have never left her alone
even a single day,
other wise you're a mad.

My sister laughed,
and told my mum,
''No Mother! Don't lie your self,
i have never kissed a man!

However, only what i know,
my father begged me only once
but i will never do it again.
Mum, i'm sorry for you,
your husband is really mad,
and was cursed at the beginning.
