Mother's Boys
Yes, I know there are stains on my carpet,
    The traces of small muddy boots;
And I see your fair tapestry glowing,
    All spotless with flowers and fruit.
 
And I know that my walls are disfigured
    With prints of small fingers and hands;
And that your own household most truly
    In immaculate purity stands.
 
And I know that my parlor is littered
    With many odd treasures and toys,
While your own is in daintiest order,
    Unharmed by the presence of boys.
 
And I know that my room is invaded
    Quite boldly all hours of the day;
While you sit in your unmolested
    And dream the soft quiet away.
 
Yes, I know there are four little bedsides
    Where I must stand watchful each night,
While you may go out in your carriage,
    And flash in your dresses so bright.
 
Now I think I'm a neat little woman;
    And I like my house orderly, too;
And I'm fond of all dainty belongings,
    Yet I would not change places with you.
 
No! keep your fair home with its order,
    Its freedom from bother and noise;
And keep your own fanciful leisure,
    But give me my four splendid boys.
