THE MEANEST MOTHER IN THE WORLD
AND I LOVE YOU SO - MIDI
I have the meanest Mother in the World!
While other kids ate Candy for Breakfast,
I had to have cereal, eggs, or toast.
When other kids had cake and candy for Lunch,
I had to eat a Sandwich, and as you can guess,
My Supper was different from the other kids too!
But, at least I was not alone in my Suffering.
My two Brothers had the same
Mean Mother as I did.
My Mother insisted upon knowing
Where us kids were at all times.
You'd think we were Convicts in a Prison.
She had to know who our Friends were,
And what we were doing.
She insisted, if we said we would be gone an hour,
That we be home in one hour or less,
Not one hour and one minute.
I am really ashamed to admit it,
But she actually punished us,
Each time we did as we Pleased.
Can you imagine Someone actually punishing a child?
Only because we Disobeyed.
Now you can see how Mean She really was.
The worst is yet to come.
We had to be in Bed by nine each night
And up early the next morning.
We couldn't sleep till noon like our Friends.
So while they Slept, My Mother actually
Had the nerve to break the child labor law.
She had us Work,
We had to Wash Dishes, Make Beds,
Learn to Cook, and all sorts of cruel things.
I believe She lay awake nights,
Thinking up mean things to do to Us.
She always insisted upon us telling the Truth
And nothing but the Truth!
By the time we were Teenagers.
She was much worse and
Our lives became even more unbearable.
No one tooting the horn of a car,
In front of the House for Us.
She would embarrass us to no end by making
Our Dates and Friends come to the door to get us.
I forgot to mention, while my friends were Dating
At the mature ages of 12 and 13.
Old fashioned Mother refused to let us Date
Until the age of 15 and 18.
15 that is if you only dated to School Functions
And that only came Twice a Year!
My Mother was a complete failure as a Mother.
None of us has ever been Arrested!
Each of my Brothers served their time
In the service of his Country,
And whom do we have to Blame
For the terrible way we turned out???
You are right, our
Mean Mother!
Look at all the things we Missed.
We have never been in
Jail
, never used
Dope,
Never been
Violent,
and million and one
Other things that our friends did.
She forced us to grow into God fearing,
Educated, Honest Adults.
Using this as a Background,
I will stand a little Taller and be filled with Pride,
Because you see,
I Thank God He Gave Me
The Meanest Mother In The World!!
