MOTHER LOVED EDDIE.A Poem by Terry CollettA MOTHER'S LOVE FOR EDDIE COCHRAN.Your mother loved Eddie Cochran At least she bought His records and Had his picture On the walls of The house and your Father used to Spit on them as He went by and Got all jealous And would rant and Rave but your young Mother would turn The record up Louder and dance Around the room And laugh but in The year Eddie Was killed in the Taxicab crash And Gene Vincent Was injured (whom She loved as well And had his small Picture inside Her black purse) your Father said he (Eddie Cochran Deserved what he Got all right and That led to one Hell of a fight And your mother Swung the saucepan At your father’s Head and he grabbed Her around the Waist and she swung And cursed and swore And you just sat And watched and stared And listened as Eddie sang from The hi-fi loud And clear and his Ghostly shadow Seemed to sway to And fro as your Mother hit your Father with the Big saucepan blow After blow and Sickening blow. © 2011 Terry Collett |
