Necessity, Invention often mentions,  
as strict a mother as you might expect,  
which, leading to innumerable tensions  
and loss of self esteem and self respect,  
resolved at last through therapeutic sessions,  
expensive as they were, more to the point,  
a lust for the material possessions  
that tweak her mother's nose all out of joint.

Such conflicts with our fathers and our mothers --  
must we achieve because we are annoyed,  
exhausted by the pointing out of others?  
Or does the answer really lie with Freud?

Dear mother, I've invented something new,  
and all because I long for "proud of you".
