A Bad Day For Mom

A Bad Day for Mom Back in the forties a long, long time ago A dollar to her name, and four kids in tow, My mother was headed to the grocery store But needed to pee as soon as she shut the door She stopped by the outhouse to get some relief Outside the young ones were causing her grief She finished up as well as time would allot Captured her kids and had to give one a swat She rushed off to the store for some milk and eggs She held on to two kids while two held her legs Reaching for her dollar, a bummer no doubt When from her purse she pulled toilet paper out! There was no need for her to be upset and hollar But she had to wonder what happened to the dollar!
