Don’t hang up Lyrics by Jenny Marie Hatch
Verse One
She had to confront her mother. This had been building for months, but she had to do it.
“Hi Abigail, how are things?”
Abby took a deep breath and said, “I am doing well. We have been busy gardening and Dad is up in the mountains fishing today. I helped Monica make some sour dough bread.”
Her Mother replied, “How Nice.
Chorus
Mom don’t hang up.
I have to ask you a serious question
Why have you never told me?
About my brother? MY BROTHER?
Ooooh ahhhh
Verse Two
I was hoping you might decide to come visit me for the summer. I have a couple weeks off and we could have a great time together. I thought maybe we could take a trip to visit my parents in Michigan and spend a few days up in the UP enjoying Mackinac Island.”
Chorus
Mom don’t hang up.
I have to ask you a serious question
Why have you never told me?
About my brother? MY BROTHER?
Ooooh ahhhh
Verse Three
Abby paused a moment. It had been so long since she had visited her Grandparents in Bloomfield Hills. She loved spending time with them, riding horses and water skiing at their estate on the lake. She said, “Are we having a family reunion again, or would it just be us? It has been so long since I saw my cousins.”
Mom said, “I think it will just be us, my Sister is taking her children on a cruise to Europe for vacation and my Dad is getting to old to travel.”

Verse Four
“Mom, I have something I need to ask, but I am not quite sure how to say it.”
“Just say it Abigail, we have never had any secrets between us.”
“Mom, why did you never tell me I had a brother, an older brother named Josiah? An older brother who died just after his birth And who was probably killed by the vaccines you insisted that he get?”
Abby heard her Mother take a quick breath in, then a soft cry as she heard the phone quietly click as her mother hung up on her
Chorus
Mom don’t hang up.
I have to ask you a serious question
Why have you never told me?
About my brother? MY BROTHER?
Ooooh ahhhh
End of song
I used an Artificial Intelligence app to create the music to go with the text from my book Paradox, which is for sale in paperback and Kindle versions on Amazon.
I joined the FAIR in the Arts Playwriting group a few months ago and have been transitioning my book into a short one act play.
I wrote this novella at the 4th grade reading level for tweens trying to reconcile vaccine death and mayhem.
Tomorrow we are doing a virtual reading of a portion of my play and it motivated me to craft this song!
