A True Mother of Invention

We're going to the house

of the woman with the mouse

They've got the job, they're staying on

we hope without a louse

We're going on the trip

of this I have no tip

It gives me anx, to do it

but it's part of the whole shtick

We're going to the house

to say ~"It's Bon Voyage"~

Let's hope you're safe, and always well

This epic's been a trip

This is now, act umpteen

from early on in teens

You've taught a lot

I've learned a lot

of never to be mean

We're going to your house

to help with what we can

the thought of it does bring me down

but life of this for man's

not always our best choice

not always good for thee

but you came first

here, there, and most

and freedom's what you seek

So we'll not hold you back

or even warn you of

what lurks, you know

won't hover though

your mindful passing's song~

of this we'll never know

for God does make the call

for when we go, it's inten-ed

for all, yes~ for us all
