       Lucky the Child!

Lucky the Child Who’s Her Mom’s Twin!

She’ll Have No Need for Opinin’

Brilliant, or Even a Beauty!

When You Can Get the Old Folks To

Call Your Mom’s Name When They Mean You;

They'll Laugh and Tell You Olde Stories

Mom Made Mistakes Along the Way!

But She Did Good Most Every Day!

That Kind’a is How My Life Goes!

Which Means I’m on Track, I Suppose!

Mom Says Each New Generation

Faces Their Own Consternation!

No Matter How You Plan, You Will

Find No Instruction Manual!

But If You Can Rely Upon

The Values That You’re Brought Up On,

You’ll Be Okay!   Keep Believin',

Lucky the Child Who’s Her Mom’s Twin!

Of Filling Up Our Queen’s Table!

I’ve Just Been Handed … What is This?

Some of My Best Friends Made This List!

For Its Putrid, Awful Reeking!

It Hurts Your Nose!   Gets in Your Clothes!

It Takes Weeks ‘Fore That Odor Goes!

The Rat, That Little Plague Spreader,

You’d Think He Aught To Know Better

Than Shake His Booty, Shed Cooties

On All Of Our Fav’rite Foodies!

And Snakes, Well Don’t Get Me Started!
If I See One, I’m Departed!

“Feets Don’t Fail Me Now!”, I’m Pleadin’!

Snakes Bite!   I Sure Don’t Like Bleedin’!

God’s Plan Remains a Mystery!

Why Would He Send Critters Near Me,

So Scary That This Poor Mind Bogs?
