Even the writer of this poem wanted no recognition for herself (or himself?) I found this treasure in an old cookbook. MAMA S MAMA Mama s Mama, on a winter s day Milked the cows and fed them hay, Slopped the hogs, saddled the mule And got the children off to school. She did a washing, mopped the floors Washed the windows and did some chores, Cooked a dish of home-dried fruit, Pressed her husband s Sunday suit, Swept the parlor, made the bed, Baked a dozen loaves of bread. Split some wood and lugged it in, Enough to fill the kitchen bin, Cleaned the lamps and put in oil, Stewed some apples she thought might spoil. Churned the butter, baked a cake, Then exclaimed:  For Mercy s Sake, The calves have got out of the pen! Went out and chased them in again. Gathered the eggs, locked the stable, Returned to the house and set the table, She cooked a supper that was delicious And afterwards washed all the dishes. Fed the cat, sprinkled the clothes, Mended a basket full of hose, Then opened the organ and began to play:  When You Come to the End of a Perfect Day. --Author Unknown Special Invitation: We would love to see more of these cherished poems, or more stories from the  97 winter (for that matter, even stories about drought).
