First Line: When I would soar on wings of song
Last Line: "is that new patch sewed in?"
Subject(s): Irony; Mothers
When I would soar on wings of song
Or write some rhythmic rhymes,
My husband wants a patch sewed on,
My children ask for dimes.
It's hard to go from clouds to earth,
Yet makes me want to grin
To have my husband ask again,
"Is that new patch sewed in?"
