Froggy's words made me think and Froggy knows me, so she knows my sense of fun and I always enjoy her writing

From a Mother to her Son and Reply

Now Son
I brought you up right
Your shoes always clean

And I dont have to take fright

If you are knocked down by a horse and cart
By cycle
Or car

Or by machine

I taught you to respect women
How they are the softer sex
And bear with their problems

So you know next

Yes you have taught me
My shoes are always clean
Other garments shining

That should never be seen

How women are the softer sex
I bear with their problems
And now know to duck next

Just before the sobbing

As the plates hit the wall
And I dance the polka
As never before

But can I ask just one little thing

It is a bold chill here
Wind going nether
In rings and rings, I feel

Chasing around me
And never, saying never
No matter where I bound

Up the creek or in the heather

Pimples on my arms

The Navy want's the sound
Have you brought anything
That goes around and around

Acne

I'd settle for anything
To wrap around this frame
Shoes and everything looks ok

But clothes would look the same

Thanks Seymour

There are times of the day, when I should just be placed, where I can not write to humanity and all derivatives.

A wonderful read Dave.
I am keeping this one as I have all your others.
