Personal Poetry By Free Cee

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

I always told you I didn’t like it that way
Oh, if only I’d listened to all you had to say
So I wore it especially for this day
That wasn’t too great a price for me 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 son, look at your hair”

I’ll bet you the color is wrong and it’s not tight enough
And if you could you’d make the necessary adjustments you’d do it gently, never rough
But you can’t do that anymore and that’s simply isn’t fair
Thus upon this day of your death, Mom, just for you I put a pony-tail in my hair
          THREE MONTHS MOM AND I STILL WEEP FOR MY ONLY ALLY
BLESS YOU AND GOODBYE
