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.
