throw spaghetti on the wall
and see if it will stick
my mother taught me this
simple little trick
hit the nail upon the head
a straight not glancing blow
this is what my father said
a son should surely know
but what they didn't teach me was
about the people in the world
and places I would go
these are things I had to learn
alone and by myself
but through it all
I always knew pasta how to cook
and drive a nail without a crook
for this I'm very grateful
