Like Mother Used to Do The Saturday Evening Post

]]> He criticized her pudding.

He didn’t like her cake.

He wished that she’d make biscuits Like mother used to make.

She didn’t wash the dishes.

She didn’t make a stew.

She didn’t darn his socks Like mother used to do.

So when he went one day

The same old rigmarole thru

She turned and boxed his ears

Just like mother used to do!

-George V. Kottwitz
