i don't know why
it is like pumpkin pie

mom said it is enough
for the floor to have stuff

mom is coming now
to take a looks

Ah

The English in this one is much more readable than your cat poem and also shows a good sense of humour. Yep, I liked it.

Only quibble was the final "s" in "looks" - make it "look". Only once a week - your mum is very tolerant.

true - but "looks" makes no sense. It is an imperfect rhyme but it works because the "s" in "books" is not too dominant. Don't get too driven by rhyme.
