Who's More Objective Than a Mother

Who’s More Objective Than a Mother?

By Elton Camp

If you want to learn just how it is,
The mom of the accused you quiz

Boston Bombers’ mom the view did take
“My boys are innocent, the blood’s fake.”

No matter how the evidence does abound
For any mother, an excuse can be found

That her child’s a rat, she just can’t see
For nobody else is half as good as he

Barbara Bush, I am positively sure
Wouldn’t rate her son’s time as poor

Very few with that opinion will agree
But she is George’s mother, you see

But really, what else should we expect
Mothers, good in a child, have to detect

But their testimony in history won’t fly
For it’s biased, though not exactly a lie
