Whistlers Mother
She thought she had nothing to gain
and posing for it would be a pain
but son insisted
against her wishes
her portrait gaining a lot of fame
Women would look at it and bristle
holding tight onto their epistles
but not their men
they loved the new trend
her long black dress making them whistle.
