Firecrack-Patows
He was hungry most every night so she oversized his portion
after a long days work at the landscape pit he was bone tired
he didn't have the cash so he received without a single tortion
wrapped in foil meant meat, tin containers meant vegis, mired
in her eyes he saw the love as she doled, with loving smiles
She was old and forgetful sometimes she did not remember
what she cooked, what she wrapped and what he took home
there was a certain pleasure in receiving praises for procure
she loved him and she knew he had no one, he lived alone
so for the sake of love she bridged the homebound miles
One night she ran out of containers so she wrapped the beans
happily he went home patted the package thinking it was pork
but to his surprises he found kidney reds and broccoli steams
so what is a man to do but eat and gas it out without a cork
he called to say the chop was good then with a sweet beguile
he said, "those loud pop noises mom are Firecrack-Patows"
she was confused for it May and a long way past July
but then she said " bet your so hungry you can eat a cow"
that is when he knew, he could not tell a straight faced lie
so he told her they were beans as he farted out with style.
