Mother Less, Mother More
Mother Goose, Mother Guess
which Mother he’ll love best:
Den Mother, Done Mother,
Fit Mother, Fat Mother,
Stepmother, Stop Mother,
Hip Mother, Hot Mother,
Grandmother, Grind Mother,
Smother-All-the-Time Mother,
Motherlode, Motherland,
Mother Bored by All She’s Planned,
Host Mother, Post Mother,
Modern-Slice-of-Toast Mother,
Skip the Jokes and Roast Mother,
Pocket Full of Post-Its Mother,
Ring Around the Collar Mother,
Pinch a Penny Now Mother,
Mother Speaking Motherese:
Mother, May I? Mother, Please:
scrambled, easy, slice of cheese.
Find a Mother, pick her up,
& all the day you’ll have a Cutlet,
Folded Laundry, a Full-Service Spa;
Mother Cheering, Mother Swearing
Sis-Boom-Bah! Mother See
as Mother Do: Bad Mother,
Good Mother, Done the Best She Could
Mother. Now you see her,
now you don’t, and you never have
the one you want.
