Mama

Mama died
                                                         Papa cried
                                                         Suicide?(NO)
                                                         But at least I tried
                                                         Drunk on beer
                                                         'cause no one here
                                                          Why the shame
                                                          As I like this game
                                                          A Pampered Lad
                                                          who went quite mad
                                                          When Mama departed
                                                          The Nursing home(where papa was carted)
                                                          Alone today because my hair is gray
                                                          No hugs for Bradley
                                                         The air is chilly for this time in May
                                                          SCREAM
                                                           DREAM
                                                           Nobody here
                                                          but a bowl of Chocolate ICE CREAM
