MOTHERS are just the queerest things!
'Member when John went away,
All but mother cried and cried,
When they said good-bye that day.
She just talked and seemed to be
Not the slightest bit upset--
Was the only one who smiled!
Other's eyes were streaming wet.
But when John came back again,
On a furlough safe and sound,
With a medal for his deeds
And without a single wound,
While the rest of us hurrahed,
Laughed and joked and danced about,
Mother kissed him, then she cried--
Cried and cried like all git out!
