Egg Timer

two generation gaps between us,

two parents in one, i know you did your best,

you and the egg timer. you are my father,

you were my mom and dad, i know you did your best you

and the egg timer. see took all your money,

she left a note on the door.

we had t.v. dinners, and we called her a whore.

i hope you're as proud of me like i am of you.

egg timer, you and the egg timer.

two hours of sleep at night,

two full time jobs, i know you did your best,

you and the egg timer. we didn't go go fishing,

and we didn't play ball, i know you did your best,

you and the egg timer. sixty minutes is as far as it

goes, the egg timer. if i want to take an hour to remember

you in the past, i have the egg timer.

i hoe i never have to use it the way you did.
