I Went To Visit My Mother But There Wass a Stranger In My Mom's Bed
I LOST SOMETHING TODAY THAT I WAS NOT HARD-WIRED TO DEAL WITH SO I HOPE YOU'LL
INDULGE ME A PERSONAL POEM....THANKS TO THE FOUR OF YOU WHO READ THIS:
I WENT TO VISIT MY MOM BUT THERE WAS A STRANGE OLD
LADY IN MY MOTHERS BED
Yes Mom, I did it just for you
The thing you always told me to do
No,,,,,,,,more like asked me to do with your kindly flair
So I thought this only fair
You always told me you didn’t like it that way
Oh, if only I’d listened to all you had to say
So I put it on especially for this day
That wasn’t too great a price for a son to pay
See, Mom, if you look in the back you can tell
And I’ll wager you’d say “and your wardrobe looks well”
But should I walk in without it you’d gasp for air
“my god,” you’d scream, “look at your hair”
I’ll bet you the color is wrong and it’s not tight enough
And you would make the necessary adjustments but gently, never rough
But you can’t stand and do that and to me this simply isn’t fair
because upon this day of your death, Mom, just for you I wore a pony-tail in my hair
~free cee!~
