Mothers pride and joy:
Where she sat the preacher
And every girl and boy?
How mother busted and fixed IL
When company was due.
And added extra touches for
The chaps who called on Sister

No more the saRKlnG old sofa,
For Sis lizards and gaZOOps;
They now do their counting
In IimOusInes. FOrds and "cOups."
The old time way was best,
They made love at home:
Now they court by the roadside,
Most any place they roam.
