Parent Sales

mom and pop at a discount price

                 (buy two for the price of one)

Serve your mom and dad a tea at breakfast

With ginger and drops of sedatives to relax

Drive them to the market in Happy Town

Buy them new outfits and shoes

Parents must look good for a presentation

Comb their hair.  Part it in the middle

Nix that.  Your dad is bald.

Pat him on the head for good luck.  "Good boy!"

Buy two leashes at the leash emporium

One pink, one in blue to tell them apart

Attach mom and pop around the neck but gently

Strangulation is against the law and not too friendly

Remember they are parents so show respect

Sell them at the marketplace.  Kiss them goodbye

Slaves are in short supply these days

Parent sales are precious and fetch a pretty penny

They make great gifts at Christmas

Take dad’s wallet.  It is the least you can do

For all he has done for you and don’t forget mommy

Leashes look great on them in pink and blue

Toodaloo you two
