Where's Mom???

Our home is seldom very clean
The meals are not as good
And we don't take a bath
As often as we should

The hamper is overflowing
The ironing is seldom done
And the socks that were neatly in the drawer
Are practically down to none

She was a model Mother
The house was shiny and bright
She was so even tempered
And a perfect "guiding light"

But all that now is changed
Dust neath the bed does pool
Where is that wonderful Mother?
Why mother now goes to school

She has no time for cleaning
We kids must do our best
We're having eggs for dinner
Cause Mom's having a test

She got a terrible longing
A nurse she wanted to be
So she nagged our Dad for tuition
And the poor guy had to agree

So every night she packs her books
And walks out the door
We would like to try to stop her
But we're sticking to the floor

We take our vitamins and drink our juice
It would be terribly cruel
If we caught a cold and fever
Mother couldn't go to school

So if you're in the hospital
And on your back do lie
If you happen to see a student nurse
Tell Mom we all said "hi"
