Ella and Enid (poem)
Keywords: father, mother, music, parent-child relationship, poem, psychoanalysis, psychohistory, singing
Ella Fitzgerald was my mother
when my mother was in a good mood.
My mother sang while doing
housework around the house.
“Ella” she said “let’s scat
a little, sing a little, love a little.”
My father home early from work
would watch from the kitchen doorway.
He would smile at his Enid, his Ella,
and the waiting tea for two.
