What fork is for salad,
What rhymes with "Moliere"?
How do they know what's good and what's bad?
How do they know which shirt will fit Dad?
Is your mom like mine?
Does she know all the rules?
Does she remember your birthday,
And the time you skipped school?
Does your mom know how to tie a bow tie,
And how many days make the month of July?
Does she know when it's time to clean up your room,
Which cabbage to buy and what holds up the moon?
Sometimes I think that there must be a class,
Where mom stuff is taught just like English or Math.
Where else would they learn all the right stuff to do?
But of course!!
All moms had moms like this too!
My goodness!
It's been quite some time!
How are you?
What's new?
You're looking quite fine!
How are Joan and the kids?
How's your job?
Mine is fine.
Do you still have that dog
That sits up for a dime?
And, my, but you had such a beautiful house!
...oh...
...pardon me...
I guess I mistook you for somebody else.
Ruth had a cold.
Jane read a book
And Kate was too old.
Anne was no fun.
Sue was a fright.
Rick picked his nose
And Grace talked all night.
Lynne liked Parcheesi.
Rob was in space.
Claire bit the dog
And Gail was a waste.
Next time I hope
That my input is sought
On who's a good sitter
And who simply is not!
