------------------
What happens when you get an urgent message,
You are supposed to call your sister to answer a question.

You think and wonder,
I don't have a sister,
I must be in trouble!

Over and over you wonder more and more,
Who could have called
Who would go to all of this trouble.

Then you remember,
It's not your sister you are supposed to call
It was mother.

It is a mixed blessing to have a mother,
Who is young enough looking to be your sister,
However, days like this,
Your only wish,
You had a brother!
