Mother Mary I am not

Many say my son looks like Jesus...


Poem Artwork

They say he looks like Jesus
And to this I will agree
Well, the Sunday school depictions
Maybe not what they long ago see'd
I didn't carry him at fifteen
And it wasn't a virgin birth
It was my second Caesarean section
I got stapled, for what it's worth
He hangs with lots of people
Just like JC did
He shares a kind of spirit
That is bottled, but out of wood
His father nailed a star
To light up, this last December
My son may look like Jesus
But I'm not Mary, please remember
For Mary was a one and only
And none can come even close
My son may look like Jesus
But anything like Mary I will not boast


*My son Pat and fellow band member Johnny played an acoustic set last weekend in NY city*
