A mother called Caroline Olling Anderson penned a funny poem about her husband and his sleeping habits – in light of the baby they share.
Anderson’s husband is a primary school teacher and she told Bored Panda that she often has a laugh with him. This time was no different.
She posted the poem, which she titled ‘Daddy’s Asleep’, on her Facebook page, and it received more than 22,000 likes – for reasons which will become very clear as you read said poem.
It began: "I love your daddy, I really do,"
And it just got better.
You can read the entire wonderful piece of literature, below:
People thought her poem was hilarious
"This is gold!!!" one Facebook user wrote. "F***ing men and their useless nipples!" another woman joked.
A third said:
Following some criticism that she was shaming mums - and dads - she took to her blog The Mommy Poet, to set a few things straight.
She wrote: “There are comments shaming my husband, comments shaming me... comments where I was like ‘why are you so angry at me, dear stranger. What part of my “meant to be funny” poem made you so upset?’”
