I read this sweet item about Killer Whale Mummy Boys…and was prompted to write this Clinton Card classic. What surprised me was, when I read it to my own 15 year-old boy, thinking he would wince in embarassment…he actually liked it! Teenagers, there’s no understanding them.Or getting away from them. Maybe I should ask him his opinion when he gets to 30…40…
Mummy, mummy,
I’m all at sea…
Will you please
Look after me?
I could spout forth
Like all the others
But I’m a gentle soul
Need the love of mothers
So stay close by
In stormy seas
When I’m out of my depth
When the others tease
Your school of thought
Comes from a deep, deep plaice (sorry, couldn’t resist…)
It’ll take a lifetime to teach me
Don’t hasten the pace
We’re swim together
In aqua blue
You looking out for me
Me looking out for you
