Mother’s Day
You know I love flowers so you bought me flowers
But you didn’t know I’d be hungry after working
You blamed me for not preparing ahead
even though you scrambled to get a gift on Mother’s Day
I tidied up the house for your family to come over
You let your mom cook the food she wanted
And I didn’t get to see my mom that day
there was no time left to celebrate other moms
Did you see the mother in me?
But you didn’t know I’d be hungry after working
You blamed me for not preparing ahead
even though you scrambled to get a gift on Mother’s Day
I tidied up the house for your family to come over
You let your mom cook the food she wanted
And I didn’t get to see my mom that day
there was no time left to celebrate other moms
Did you see the mother in me?

Hope he likes Kibbles, cause that is in the "Dog House" behavior.
Hope you at least got some food.
