Because That’s
What Momma Would Have Wanted
We’re angry – Momma attended this church
Thirty years ago, and no one remembers
No rosary; we’re not Catholic, praise God
Not since we put Momma in the nursing home
We’re angry – the priest shoulda remembered her
Even if he wasn’t even here then, and no music
Because that’s pagan; just get it over quick
And then let’s get on to the cemetery
We’re angry - just a damn’ Cath’lic service, okay?
Because that’s what Momma would have wanted
