The Top 15 Rejected Mother’s Day Cards
(Part II)
(Part II)
- We hate the day care lady, Mom,
Gray hair sprouts from her ear.
Won’t you keep us home with you,
And ditch that damned career?
- Here’s a little bottle,
For you on Mother’s Day.
You certainly do drink a lot
Since Daddy went away.
- I want to be just like you, Mom,
So pretty and full of class.
So I, too, will bed the president,
And then I’ll sue his ass.
- Show you love me, Mother,
Though I made a bad decision.
Steal a semi, ram the fence,
And break me out of prison.
- I was a happy little girl,
Now all I do is cry.
You caused all my neuroses, Mom —
You raised me as a *guy.*
- There once was a mother named Mom,
Who had a great son, named Tom.
He sent flowers her way,
For each Mother’s Day.
So can you loan me a grand?
- What is a mother?
Soother of boo-boos,
Singer of lullabies,
Confidant,
Friend…
Yeah, yeah, yeah — Here’s your plant, I’m double-parked.
- I got my dad’s eyes, and my grandma’s class,
But thanks to YOU, Mom, I’ve a double-wide ass.
- Happy Mormon Mother’s Day!
You’ve earned a day of rest.
Of all my many mommies,
You’re the one I love the best.
- I made this picture with lots of love,
Some tape, some glitter and glue.
So get off my case about a job —
I’m only thirty-two.
- You nursed me, Mom, you gave to me
Your swelling naked breast.
I suckled there, I drank my fill,
You never got a rest.
And now that it’s been thirty years,
I have but one request:
I think it’s time you weaned me, Ma,< - Roses are red, violets are blue,
Ellen is gay, and guess what? I am too!
- Dear Mom, you’ve always helped me out.
I wish that I’d helped YOU.
But if I’d lied while on the stand,
I’d be in prison, too!
- My inheritance money you’re wastin’
Living life in extravagant style.
So today, red-hot lead you’ll be tastin’,
Like the mother of Erik and Lyle.
And the Number 1 Rejected Mother’s
- Happy Mother’s Day to the best Mom.
As a parent, well, you are Da Bomb.
I don’t mind that you boss me,
‘Cause you didn’t toss me
In the bathroom at your Senior Prom.
