The Mother and the Witch

(by Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1999)
(Tune: "Its all for the Birds" by Oscar Brand)
An Old Joke converted to song

    A mother was bathing her five-year-old son
    And she noticed that his was a small little one
    She started to worry, about his adult life
    Feared that he'd never be able to attract a wife

    Chorus:
      Tur-a-la, Tur-a-lay
      It's only an old joke that I sing today
      Sing a-long, have a beer
      If you get easily offended, you shouldn't be here

    She went to the doctor, to see what he could do
    The doctor said "I've got some bad news for you"
    You son is so small, that if he every weds
    His wife will not notice when he comes to bed

    She talked to her friends at an afternoon tea
    And they all agreed that his pecker was wee
    But they gave no advice, to help ease her mind
    But after they left, one friend tarried behind

    She said, "What I tell you, keep under your hood
    There's a witch that lives in a hut in the woods
    She may know of a way, that may give you hope
    For she cured my John's baldness with herbs and some soap".

    So the mother and child went into the woods
    Hoping to hear some news that was good
    They knocked at the door, the witch said come in
    They entered the work room of old Yaga Flynn

    The mother explained her concerns for her son
    The witch listened calmly until she was done
    She pulled down a tome all covered with dust
    If an answer exits, its in here , so I trust.

    She read and she read, and wrinkled her brow
    And then she announced, "I found it right now
    It says the one thing that will make it grow most
    Each and every morning he must eat buttered toast"

    She paid and departed the old witches house
    In town she saw her friend strolling with her spouse
    And on his head, she noticed his hair
    Where a week ago, his head had almost been bare.

    That night she lay thinking, her man slept by her side
    In her heart she knew that the witch had not lied
    In the morn, when the lad went to break his fast
    He saw buttered toast in a pile that was vast

    It covered the table; no surface was bare
    There was toast on the counters and toast on the chair
    "I can't eat all that mama!" cried the five year old lad.
    She replied, "These two are for you, that's for your Dad!".

    Final Chorus:
      Tur-a-la, Tur-a-lay
      It's only an old joke that I sing today
      Sing a-long, have a beer
      It's over, so the offended, can now join us here

 No story. Just a favorite old joke set to a merry tune.
