My mama ain't no madam
Massage is all they do
Law troubles? Sure, she's had 'em
Been stopped for speeding too
She says she ain't no hippie
I guess beatnik's the word
She says the world is trippy
Enough. Drugs are absurd
She was an English teacher
Her master's was in Ed
But she taught Harriet Beecher
Stowe, and got fired
My mama ain't no bony
But she likes joining cults
She could have been a Moonie
With similar results:
She gave away her moneys
And all our furnishings
To benefit the bunnies
And all sentient beings
She flirted once with Yoga
We stayed on an ashram
The guru wore a toga--in Saratoga!
We chanted
Bhaja govindam
Bhaja govindam...*
My mama ain't no nudist
Except around the pool
She's a Tibetan Buddhist
(Like Catholic, only cool)
Now mama's gone Vedanta
A similar belief
Her friends look more like Santa
And much less like Gurdjieff
My mum's a little flaky
Believes in everything
From auras to zenreiki
Except crystal healing
She draws the line
At crystal healing
* Look for Vishnu, look for Vishnu...
