A Double Mammy

McGee arrived early one morning At the factory he'd worked all his life When the foreman waved to McGee with his hand And said there's a call from his wife So McGee walked in to the office in haste When no sooner he answered the phone Set it down gently, and with a sad face Simply let out a groan The Boss was concerned, and so asked McGee "Is there something you'd like to confide" McGee wiped a tear as he turned to his boss "It's me mother, Diss mornin' she died" "You'll be needin' the day", said McGee's boss As he placed his hand on McGee’s back "No" McGee said, "I'll be just fine, It's better I stay, right on track" But no sooner that said, the phone rang again and again, it was for Ole' McGee "It's for you" The Boss said while handing the phone back to McGee nervously “I just can't believe it, shouted McGee I’ll be need’in the day, diss be why, Me brother jus’ called me and said that dis mornin’ ALSO his Mother had died”

Thought I was going to read of the birth of twins, but this is better. Could be they had different mothers; but not likely. Love the humor. Might change had to has in the last line. Just joking. Excellent rhyme, Jerry. I love the dialect.
