Your Mother, the Poor Soul

Well, I guess I'll take your word for it, he said.
Why do people say that?
It's like saying, I guess I have to agree
with you until I hear otherwise.

Sure, I don't know everything,
but last time I knew,
I graduated with honors
and you don't even have 15 hours.

And your mother, the poor soul,
was probably only appreciated
for her baked goods
and clean kitchen floors.
