From Ma to Ma

Mother always reminded me “Work hard to learn all at school,” When I would become man, I’d be Ale to become a boss with power to rule!

So I attended schools of different types, Learning all the different thinks I needed to know; But hormones soon upset my intellectual glow!

The day that I met her I became shamefully nerdy, Why had she so easily changed my focus on life? Forsaking all I had learned in schools’ drudgery I asked her on dates, til one day I asked her to be my wife!

With her I no longer need to lead For she points out when I’m sad, or in mirth; All I need to do is work many hours to feed, The little rascals that she puts for me on Earth!
