Roses rambling

I am going to insert two of my son's poems here (with his permission, of course).  Mind

you,  he wrote this with much grumbling and fretting and procrastinating because

he had to,  for assignments in high school.  He does not share my love of writing poems

but I believe he could if he ever wanted to.  These got a good grade and also

favorable comments from his teachers.  I love them and I have kept them for years.

                  MIND YOUR MOMMA 

                 "Mind your manners,

                           say your prayers,

                   brush your teeth,

                            get up the stairs."

                     When Mother speaks

                              in a certain way,

                      we all listen to what

                              she has to say.

                       Though she is gentle

                               and sweet and kind,

                       She'll always say

                               what's on her mind.

                         "Get out of that bed,

                                 and get to school,

                            No child of mine

                                  will be a fool."

                             This little woman

                                    is meek and mild,

                               and tender-hearted

                                     as a child.

                               But when it comes

                                       to doing right,

                                She can put up a

                                        whale of a fight!

  that was a great poem for a high schooler!! well-written and I'm sure everything he wrote about you was the truth :)
  
  hope you feel better soon; it is frustrating to try to get to talk to a live person these days on the phone, isn't it?
