"Mother's Day 2002"

by Jeph Johnson

 

Mom, you are the best around;
My sounding board when I am down,
My solution when perplexed,
When playing cards you cut the deck

 

Mom, you are the best by far,
My one true friend, a shining star.
Your character I do aspire,
On Mother's Day you do inspire

 

Mom, you are the best for sure
And Jennifer also concurs
For when we talk and mention "Mom"
We always know to remain calm

 

And paint a smile onto our lips
In preparation for your trip
To visit us in lieu of letter
And make our week a little better

 

So come prepared to hear me sing
Some karaoke in the Spring
And notice please my clean abode
I just hope I get rid of this cold
