MOTHER
- M is for the many times you made me.
O is for the other times you tried.
T is for those tawdry frathouse weekends.
H for the hell that's in your eyes.
E is for your everlasting passion.
R is for the ruin you made of me.
Put them all together -- they spell MOTHER.
And that is what I think I am going to be!
- F is for your funny correspondence.
A is for this answer to your note.
T is for the tearful sad occasion.
H is for your hope I'll be a goat.
E is for the easy with which I made you.
R is for the rube you think I will be.
Put them all together and they spell FATHER.
But you'll never pin that title, dear, on me.
. Thanks! John Patrick.
