Chinese Takeout With Love
Thank you for coming
And giving me your time,
You seemed to like the Chinese,
I know I liked mine.
You have been gone now
For many a year,
Life was good and life was bad, and
We’ve shed many a tear.
It’s late afternoon now, and I know you must,
Leave me alone again and you’ll be, too,
You take your doggie, I’ll keep mine,
We don’t live far, please come back, do.
If children just knew what a little visit means,
They would come often and not be shy,
But they like to be in their own carved out nests,
And as far as that goes, so do I.
So take the rest of the Chinese takeout,
And think of me when you chow down,
Remember it’s from Mom with love,
And don’t forget to come back around
