SHE SHOULDN'T EVEN BOTHER

Where did my mommy go?
Why did she have to leave?
Where did my mommy go?
I want my mommy here. . . 

            Stumbling drunken down the street
            The "mother" chose again to leave
            Her baby sobs again at the door

                              -- angry --

            Screaming and kicking on the floor

Yes Mommy went away
She really had to leave
I hope my Mommy went far away
I don't want my Mommy here

            Why does this woman claim to be "Mother"
            When in the end she should never look back:

                                She shouldn't even bother.
