Mother Murder

Member since 2002 · Posted 10 Nov 2003 · 9 comments

Under the coffee table you dropped and rolled off into another dimension. I imagine you often, forgotten there. Next to a chewed up lego and pen cap. Peering out at the idea of recovery. The clean light of another maybe now. Can you hear the morning news and drip of go go juice going away without you missed upon the backs of boxed cowings. And fully capable of going bad at will. If you see her wave When you can, then do If you spot her pray Old mother's brand new. Toasters, blenders & microwaved mind benders. Refrigerating dinners and power ball winners. Check the mail twice today, and be that okay With how you can switch channels and still pay back in slippers, Weight watchers, and flannel The mother of all best kept secrets has passed. Between your last sick day, and her hot flash.

I can't get past the fact that it's blatant rip-off of "on top of old smokey".

Poor meatball.

So's the Canadian Anthem, but you don't see the maples laughing do you? Also I tried, but I couldn't get it to fit your assumption. Therefore,that must have been your attempt at humor. Forgive me for hurling ketchup at you.

What did you try, exactly? As for the ketchup, you could have at least taken it out of the little packets first.

Like wise I'm sure. Do you have a picture, so I might see where it is I'm going too?
