Mothers Don'T Lie, the Simply Try To Encourage

MOTHER’S DON’T LIE, THEY SIPLY TRY TO ENCOURAGE My mother always said “Son, there’s a special place for you A glorious place where one can do that which one wants to do It’s a place with a sun that always shines, even when we espy the moon And everyone in town takes a siesta at precisely noon” She described trees and plants, all of which you can eat My mother always told me to be leery of some people I may meet She told me how friends can become enemies overnight But she vowed wherever I lived would always be berry bright My mother always advised me not to take chances when the consequences are too great And, as so many mothers have, mine told me never to use the word “hate” She made me go to weekly confession and Christmas Eve’s midnight mass And that if I let her teach me to dance Latin style I could capture any lass That lovely place my mother rendered in a voice aimed at only me She told me of the wonder that could be claimed by only me And she sold a tale to me even though it was a difficult story to sell But mother’s gone for ten years now and never knew I was born and headed for Hell © 2011.…Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
