Dear Mom,

I got my brains from you. I got my genes from you. I got everything I have been, am, and will be from you. If you feel that I have become abtruse, or obtuse, or obfuscate, or those kinds of things, remember that I got it from you.


M is for the many things she taught me
O is for something like "obscure"
A is for the Absolute Nonsense posted
B is for BS, it's always pure.

Put them all together they spell MOAB,
Which hardly rhymes with anything except "Boab,"
A tree not found around here much at all!


That song always brings tears to my eyes and those of my audience.
