The Enjoyable Mother is a light poetic form concerning alcoholic beverages originally devised by the elf Thilu Controlboar. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is two nineteen-line stanzas. Forms of parallelism are common throughout the poem, in that certain lines often contrast underlying meaning and they have similar grammatical structures. The eighth line of each stanza shares the underlying meaning of the fifth line. The sixth line of each stanza presents a different view of the subject of the third line.
