Mother’s day is here and gone
and mom got a washing machine
new pots and forks
dishes and spoons
She got roses that’ll dry
and cards she’ll throw away
she got hugs in the morning
and maybe the only hugs
she gets for a few months
She gets things that are pink
things to make housekeeping
easier
like vacuums and aprons
But don’t worry mothers'
Fathers' have it worse
They get lawn mowers
and tool-boxes
T-shirts and wallets
they also get cards
but no roses
they may get boxers
or undies
but they don’t get hugs
and always a day after
Father’s day
Both days
are like disposable love songs
just as great
and just as forgettable
To all the hard working mothers make it your day everyday
and.......................
To all those fathers..................just keep doing what you do.........
