Mama's Very Moody Tonight

Mama's Very Moody Tonight

A Poem by A.N.W.
"

A sister warns her younger brother of their mother's anger issues. It is set to the meter of "Santa Claus is coming to town"

"
You better not pout, 
You better not cry.
You'll get slapped outright
And I'll tell you why.

Mama's very moody tonight..

Dry your tears,
Straighten your face.
Do as she says,
And say your grace.

Mama's very moody tonight..

She knows when you've been naughty.
She knows when you've been kind.
If you happen to be bad though,
Evil will gleam in her eyes.

You better not pout,
You better not cry.
You'll get slapped outright
And I'll tell you why.

....Mama's very moody tonight.
