A Mother's Wisdom

Make sure you wear clean underwear In case you're in a wreck The mother's wisdom I'll list here Is truly just a speck Don't forget to brush your teeth And never tell a lie If you make that face it'll stay that way But we never asked her why Wear a coat when you go outside Or you'll catch your death of cold We heard these things everyday Til the time that we grow old It's just like time to repeat itself Her wisdom is here to stay For my wife still says these precious words To our children everyday
