On mornings when
Mom Has A Headache,
I'll tell you a tale that is true --
A lot is at stake,
Commit no mistake,
You'll be wrong whatever you do.
On mornings when
Mom Has A Headache,
I'll tell you just how it will go --
You won't get a break,
From the time you awake,
The reason, you may never know.
On mornings when
Mom Has A Headache,
I'll tell you just how you will feel --
Your heart it will quake,
Your boots, they will shake,
You'll wonder, what is the big deal?
On mornings when
Mom Has A Headache,
I'll tell you a secret or three --
Small things take the cake,
All grace she'll forsake,
No patience you're likely to see.
On mornings when
Mom Has A Headache,
I'll tell you, good feelings depart --
Your smile will be fake,
Your outlook opaque,
Your day will not have a good start.
On mornings when
Mom Has A Headache,
I'll tell you when you get to school --
Your teacher will take,
The brunt of the ache,
If something does not overrule.
On mornings when
Mom Has A Headache,
I'll tell you what turns things around --
"I'm sorry" will make,
A 180 retake,
And pick your day up from the ground!

I had a headache this morning too! But I managed to keep it hidden (I think) til my boy was off to school. It was the three at home who heard the results of a mom not feeling well. Sigh. Like your poem!!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. If only mom's attitude wouldn't affect so many...
DeleteTomorrow will be better! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank God for second chances!
DeleteHope it went away soon.....!:) And, where did you get that cute pic that showed up?
ReplyDeleteWhich cute picture was that?
DeleteWhat talent...the headache must have been better. :-) I could've written this poem...it is so me! Like tonight. Headache's still not gone.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to be nice when you're not feeling up to par!
