Large Fierce Mammal

If you have learned anything about us by now, it should be obvious that Mrs. LFM and I are very Old School. Notwithstanding what Tools and technologies we may choose to enable us in a task, First Principles will be the guiding influence in their application.

Another guiding principle seeing heavy use around this Household is that no situation is so dark as to resist illumination by the cold hard light of Humour, in the proper timing of course which is yet another of those First Principles I mentioned.

This age of widespread self-proclaimed enlightenment has cast a pall over everything fundamental to Truth, regarding everyone and everything in the world as being of its own compartmentalized piece, free to be nurtured or excised absent consequence to the whole. Blessed as they are with a Mother for whom the epithet Superb offers apology for its own inadequacy in describing such a Woman, our Sons are clearer of eye and sensibility.

I make no pretense of knowing what kind of mother or Mother you have or had, nor what kind of offspring had she. What follows is an observation running as close to a basic Truth as most can accept with minimal argument. Your mileage may vary.

Mother’s Day

By LFM

You owe your Mother many things,
And one thing is persistent,
But for her you’d not be dead,
Just fucking non-existent!
