Watch Those Cracks

Step on a crack break your mothers back No way is she going to go down with that So I watch what I do, the direction I move To not hurt my mom with the steps that I choose I even avoid the cracks that I see Randomly placed, all taunting me When lightening slides by, cracking the sky I turn my back and quickly close both my eyes Never dare do I stare when a plumber is near At the massive crack looming from his derriere Never thought I would find nor realize There are so many cracks filling our lives Now that I know I try and avoid So my dear sweet mother can grow healthy and old I don't swing around to the bad side of town Where crack in a bag can be easily found Then in my carefulness I find that I slipped Not watching where I placed my last careless step I let out a gasp as I hear a loud crack Knowing full well where that crack is at Oh all the horror, oh all the shame That I am the one to accept all the blame What I feared all along went terribly wrong Now all I've got to say is...Sorry Mom
