Don Corleone wrote poetry, Ma!
Omerta.
Al Capone loved opera!
Silence.

Try getting through to your Irish ma
That poetry is enjoyed by the hardest of men -
I have a battle on my hands;
All her mob movies! a lifetime addiction to violent dramas.

Bugsy Malone, Ma, he knew his Yeats
Gene Hackmann, a talented lyric poet

Och, I'm up against a reactionary force - tough mama -
but she only wants to see the bad guys
get what they deserve;
a strong sense of justice
Or is it blood lust?

Omerta!

Eric Cantona, Ma, a big fan of Rimbaud
Rambo? Stallone?
Not quite, Ma!

Ok, I'll make her a poem she can't refuse,
I'll make her an offering,
And then she'll see there's more to life
Than strong silent omerta.
