Appeasing Momma
Peek in … throw hat in the door
Are you there Momma? Is it war!
She forgets when I come around
Where have you been? She says
Wearing … a … frown!
Always I say … working
It seems … to appease her mind
Sometimes … I am
Sometimes … not
A fib-let … helps me be kind
No matter how long I stay
She’s unhappy when I go away
But Momma … I’ll see you
Tomorrow … no fear
Frown’s gone … smiles appear!
