Mom, you know what they call you?

You'rea 
        pit bull with lipstick
        and that's pretty funny
because
            I wear the lipstick 
            and you never do
            You train dogs
            but you raise poodles.

I guess me and the poodles
need a pitbull with lipstick
to guide and show us the way.
           and not put up with
           our silly billy prancing
           but work to keep us
           calm and maintained
           secured through
                the strength of caring.

You're a pit bull with lipstick,
       and I know that is true
       because I have seen you
       march into a gun toting gang
       and neck hold the leader
       against the wall to explain
       in no uncertain terms why
       claiming points for virgins
       is not cool.

You're a pitbull with lipstick
       and I know that is true
       because I have seen you
       alpha dog stare down 
       the most feared of all
       who feared you enough 
       to call his father for advice
       Whose father thanked you

You're a pitbull with lipstcik
       and I know that is true
       because you growl seldom
       you don't have to
       You're presence changes 
       hearts and minds to make
       better decisions.

I laughed when I heard you
     called a pitbull with lipstick
     but I know it is true .
     And if I got to chose
           another mother -

I would have to choose you!
