Nothing You Can Do

She is ugly and fierce
She is poor and illiterate
She is haughty and impatient

But she is the woo of a man,
Who gave me rock and suck
When that was all I knew
When that was all I wanted
When that was all I needed

My mother, she is
And there is nothing,
Nothing, you can do
about it!
