Mrs X Used To Say

Mrs X used to say a decade ago The future is looking bright for my son Joe Mark my words he will grow into a famous man Though most things in life never do go to plan When people do ask her about Joe today Her answer is from home he is living away This is all of her dear boy she wishes to say As her favorite topic of conversation her Joe did not stay The praises of her son she no longer does sing Amazing the changes that a decade can bring He was her favorite topic of conversation not that long ago But nowadays she would rather not talk about Joe For forty five years old Mrs X in her life love gone stale Her husband George less fond of her than he is of his pot of ale Whilst he is in the pub she sits at home watching t v This is not how she planned how life for her should be Her favorite topic of conversation not that long ago Mrs X does not talk now of her son Joe Since he became addicted to narcotics and turned to crime And for armed robbery is now serving jail time.
