Mother’s Day, (or The Secret Only a Dad Can Tell)

Mother’s Day,
  (or The Secret Only a Dad Can Tell)

You think that Mother’s day is for
  Your sweet ol’ Mom to take a rest?
Uh-huh, it secretly is really meant
  To put you children to the test!

Can you make the breakfast early?
  Will you wash those dirty clothes?
Can you wrap up Mama’s present
  In bright paper and with bows?

Then can you plan reserve a table
  For a family of six,
And when it’s time for leaving,
  Can you afford pick up the check?

Mom’s don’t rest on Mothers day,
  They just obsess of all life’s toil,
And all the things this Sunday all
  You kids will likely spoil

You see, when it’s their special day
  Mothers’ can never ever rest,
They watch attentively while you, unknowingly,
  Take their ‘are you ready yet?’ Mom test

She does not care if you’re at ease,
  Or if at the job you’re straining,
It’s more an annual ‘Mom’ way
  Of giving on the job training

For all true Mothers’ know,
  Someday that time will have its way,
And she will become, ‘Grandma,’
  And when it’s time you test your kids,

You’ll remember Mom’s way was best!
