set in her ways
for some reason mom doesn’t like
women sports announcers
whether in the booth
or on the sidelines
says it’s something about
their voices
yet she’s unable to articulate
just what exactly
as for me it makes no difference
I usually have the game
on mute anyway
listening to music
or playing the saxophone
wondering how many
pretty women
might be pissing off the mama
