OUR MELLOW MOM

OUR MELLOW MOM

Roger A. Davis

She had four kids in five years
Can you imagine all the caring and wiping of tears?
Her early hobby then was dressing chickens
Imagine all the meal fixin's

Bobbie Jean is Queen of Novels Read
Always keeps some near the bedstead
Many years, a Book-of-the-Month-Club junkie
Also her daughter, Joy, her librarian flunky

I can remember Mom's, "Joy of Cooking" book
Wow, fried chicken, carrot cake, what a cook
On Sunday night, she ate popcorn in a metal bowl
This was her time off from kitchen patrol

During our formative years, she was always there
Mom and Dad made such a romantic pair
Kissing and hugging on the couch
They never seemed to grouch

She plays bridge and solitaire
And she is more than pretty fair
Her grandkids remember her being so much fun
And with four great-grandchildren, she’s not done

Our Mom is not even a little bit pushy
And doesn’t go in for the mushy
Yet loving and loyal is she
Our Mellow Mom, Bobbie
