Poor Ma

by Mr. Ed — Read all 1,530 poems by Mr. Ed

Part III in 'The Matlack Chronicles'

Tuesday, September 9, 2014


Poem Artwork
-->

“Of all of the animals,
The boy is the most unmanageable.”

Plato

Music: Moon River

Unfortunately, our Cousin Tom arrived late
At old Jersey Devil Ed Matlack’s apartment
My brother was already out ‘Full Mooning’
And now, poor old Ma was filled with dread

And as usual, numerous 911 calls were made
About ‘The Mooning Maniac’ on the loose again
Ma pleaded with the police officer who arrested him
He brought him to Ma’s house where this drama did end

Even though my devilish old brother is now over 60 years old
Poor old Ma still keeps his old diaper changing station ready
She gave him a bath, and covered up his enormous Full Moon
Then tucked him into bed, with milk, cookies, and his old Teddy


“Of all of my children,
This devilish boy is the most unmanageable.”

Our Dear Old Ma
