Happy Mothers Day… WASP Style.

Bumby here, I just wanted to express to all the mamas out there, My  heart felt gratitude for all that you are. We men tend to forget that you are the heart and soul of our existence.

For the Lilly lovers out there…..

I do trust that that is a Lilly Pulitzer dress in that box. Because you know, I just must have the latest.

Now for a musical number…There is nothing like a Dame from the show South Pacific.

We got sunlight on the sand…. We got moonlight on the sea,

We got mangos and bananas….You can pick right off the tree

We got volleyball and ping-pong…. And a lot of dandy games

What ain’t we got ?

We ain’t got Dames……..

We get packages from home, We get movies We get shows

We get speeches from our skipper and advice from Tokyo Rose

We get letters doused with perfume, We get dizzy from the smell

What don’t we get ?……You know darn well.

We got nothing to put on a clean white suit for….What we need , is what there ain’t no substitute for

There is nothing like a Dame, nothing in the world,

There is nothing that you can name that is anything like a Dame.

We feel restless…We feel blue, We feel lonely and in grief

We feel every kind of feeling …But the feeling of relief

We feel hungry as the wolf felt… when he met Red Riding hood

What don’t we feel? …We don’t feel good

Lots of things in life are beautiful but Brother, There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever in any shape like any other…..

There is nothing like a Dame, nothing in the world,

There is nothing that you can name that is anything like a Dame.

Nothing else is built the same……….Nothing in the world

has the soft and wavy frame, like the silhouette of a Dame

So, suppose a dame ain’t bright,

or completely  free from flaws,

or as faithful as a bird dog

or as kind as Santa Clause.

It’s a waste of time to worry over things that have not……Be thankful for the things they’ve got.

There is nothing you can name , that is anything like a Dame

There are no books like a Dame and nothing like a Dame

There are no drinks like a Dame and nothing thinks like a Dame or attracts like a Dame

There ain’t a thing thats wrong with any man here that can’t be cured by putting him near,

A Girly, Womanly, Female, Feminine, Dame.

So, again let me say on behalf of all men world… THANK YOU for being just who and what you are.

Always Bumby
