         Happy Mother's Day!!!

        Hey, Hey, My Name is Audrey Mae!

        Tomorrow Will be Mother's Day!

        We Have the Best Mother There Is!

        I Know This and So Does Iz!

        My Mommy's Pretty and She's Wise!

        She Likes My Friends, Even the Guys!

        We Love How She Makes Mac&Cheese!

        And Almost Anything We Please!

                          

        Me, Iz and Bonez Love How She Cooks!

        We Love How She Helps Us Read Books!

        Our Friends All Know Our Mom's Way Cool!

        Despite Her One Real Crazy Rule!

                                                             

        Can You Believe Mom Makes Me Sit?

        And Mom Won't Let Me Dance a Bit!

        Or Even Do One Somersault!

        When We Eat Meals!   Is That My Fault?

                           

        Hey, Kids Have So Much Energy,

        We Need to Gyrate Constantly!

        Next Time We Eat, You Take My Seat!

        I Swallow Better on My Feet!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Vol. 1  Chap. 9

        Happy Birthday Mommy!

      Hey, Hey, My Name is Audrey Mae!

      Guess What?   Today is Mom's Birthday!

      Bella and Me Help Celebrate,

      'Cause We Know That Our Mom is Great!

      What to Give Mom's a Mystery!

      She Never Gave a Hint to Me!

      Mom Just Hugged Us!  Were Those Her Tears?

      She Said, "I've Got It All, My Dears!"

                                        

      "My Daughters are Sweet, Kind and Wise!"

      "Yes, Both My Daughters are My Prize!

      "How Could Your Mother Want for More

      "Than You Sweet Girls, Who I Adore?"

      That Started Me to Contemplate!

      If Two Sweet Girls are Truly Great,

      The Best Gift We Could Give Our Mother

      Just Might be a Little Brother!

                                       

Happy Birthday Mommy!

You Think You Had a Lousy Day!!!

Vol. 1  Chap. 4

   You Think You Had a Lousy Day!!!

        Hey, Hey, My Name is Audrey Mae!

        You Think You Had a Lousy Day!

        Well Let Me Tell You Something, Friend!

        My Bad Day Went From Start to End!

        It Started Right When I Got Up!

        I Went to Hug My Giant Pup!

        And Then My Mom and Iz and "Owhhh!"

        I Stubbed My Toe Real Hard Somehow!

        I Didn't Cry!   But Both Eyes Leaked!

        I Think I Scared Iz When I Shrieked!

        I Soldiered On and Brushed My Teeth

        And Hid My Sad Face Down Beneath!

                   

        My Smile I Showed to Everyone!

        I Put Sad Down!   Tried to Have Fun!

        I Ran and Played But Even Though,

        Kah-Boom!   I Fell on My Elbow!

        My Skin Was Flapping in the Breeze!

        My Elbow Hung Down by My Knees!

        Not One EMT Rushed to Help

        Despite My Poor, Pathetic Yelp!

                            

        Just Then I Saw a Huge, Mean Bee

        Aim His Sharp Stinger Right at Me!

        "Don't Sting Me Bee!!!"  I Tried to Beg!

        But That Mean Bee Just Stung My Leg!

                                     

        My Mommy Sprayed and Bandaged Me!

        She Hummed and Rocked Me on Her Knee!

        My Mom Knows All 'Bout TLC

        And How to Heal and Comfort Me!

        Bonez Laid His Huge Head on My Knee!

        Opened His Mouth, Showed Me That Bee!

        This Might Not Be the Worst Day Yet!

        Bonez, My Protector!   What a Pet!

Happy Mommy Day!!!

Vol. 1  Chap. 3

               Happy Mommy Day!!!

                  Hey, Hey My Name is Audrey Mae!

                  Here's an Idea.  What Do You Say?

                  What if, Maybe, I Find a Way

                  To Make This "Happy Mommy Day!!!"

                                                                                        

                  Mommy Will be So Surprised To

                  Find Out What Her Daughter's Up To!

                  I Can Show I Have the Power

                  To Make Her Smile Ev'ry Hour!

                                                                                      

                  It Starts by Say'n "I Love You, Mom!"

                  "Sit Down and Let Me Get You Some ..."

                  Or Maybe I Can Read a Book,

                  Hold Up the Pictures, Let Her Look!

                  Then I Can Help My Mommy To

                  Do All The Things That Mommy's Do

                  When She Takes Special Care of Me!

                  And When I Do, Here's What I'll See,

                                                                                   

                 I'll Bet on "Happy Mommy Day."

                 I'll Get a Chance, I'll Find a Way

                 To See What My Own Mom Goes Through

                 By Stepping Into My Mom's Shoe!
