Who’s Your Mother, Referee?
¶ 1
Leave a comment on verse 1 0
Despite the fact that she was deaf,
She’d come and watch her son, the ref.
Those half-heard outbursts of derision
At every crass, inept decision,
She took as being songs of praise,
Behind the constant, buzzing haze.

Her dress was black as blackest night
From which the stars had taken flight.
Her hair was greyish-white and on it
Perched a white and lacy bonnet.
The fans around her nudged each other
And cruelly named her “Whistler’s Mother.”
