If you give a mom a martini,
And a weekend with her friends
She’ll talk and laugh and laugh some more
Live it up, until the end!
Because a mom who’s with her girlfriends
Is a happy mom indeed.
She can just be who she is,
Let her inner-self be freed!
If you give a mom a martini
Fireside, by the lake
That mom will be so thankful
For the comfort and a break.
And if that mom does eat,
Tasty food made just for her,
A smile will form upon her face
Like a kitty cat’s gracious prrrrrrrr.
And if that weekend ends
With, say, a mom who’s stuck in traffic,
It frets her not, for she is calm
And feeling so fantastic.
And even if once home,
“re-entry” is a bitch
She’ll still be chillin’ inside
For in memories, she is rich
So give a mom a martini.
And a weekend away
Just give her a martini, dammit!
She, too, deserves to play.
