Mothers

Mothers, mine to be specific,

Has always been a critic,

Go to her with a problem,

And she'll sound far from solemn,

First, you'll receive a whack,

Next, she'll tell you, to stand up for yourself and have a better knack,

For judging people and situations,

Minimize your communications,

Think before you speak,

This is the right technique,

To deploy in all situations, 

This will better your relations,

At home, work and with your son,

I've seen her soften, only for both her grandsons,

For her own kids, it was always,

"You break my curios, I'll break your bum in many ways",

She's a tough one, my mom,

Even when a million bombs burst around her, she's calm.
