Mom's the Word

Thankful to my Mom for all that she's done.
Fed and taught and loved me, her firstborn son.
We take this day to celebrate our Moms.
So, she's damn lucky that I came along.
Before me, could she celebrate this day?
She was a wife, but a mother? No way!

So, my dear Mother, we both can agree
That this day, you should be thankful to me
Although later you begat another,
Know it was I that made you a mother.

Mom.  You're welcome.  I'm glad I could assist.
I should probably get half of your gifts.


Happy Mother's Day!  I hope you know that I love you a lot.
If you're hoping for a present, bad news, this poem's all you got.

  1. Love it, Paul! And you can have half of all I received today...I opened my telephone bill - so your share comes to $62.44. Thanks for such a worthy tribute! Mother
