Song for Mom

lyrics

well mother dear
another year
hastily has passed
when thinking what to buy?
nothing caught my eye
you want a gift that lasts
now I often joke and kid around
i am quite the jester
but i don't make light that moneys tight
and your gift funds have been sequestered

you could call me cheap that wouldn't be wrong
your present this year is this here song
no evening out or banging the gong
just this lousy song

no baubles or bangles or gold doubloons
a trip to athens to see the ruins
nary a book by rod mckuen
all you get is this here tune

i suppose you could be flattered
or mildly impressed
they say its the thought is all that matters
they need to give that a rest

so nix on new apparel
or front row tickets to some hipster play
no serving tongs
or skimpy thong
much to your dismay
on the bright side it wont be too long
until next mothers day day
