Mama's Skirt
Mama's skirt was pulled
At the helm by the slightest finger:
The grip was fooled:
For the tip of the shortest lingered.
Mama had waved this off,
And the gentle breeze commemorate her action-
'thout looking back, harder she waved her skirt off,
And their was the birth of a commotion:
The owner of the finger was
Lifted beyond the earth,dashing
Her back at the fiery cooking pot at force:
Then mama looked back- twas her littlest grand daughter burning.
---
Observe well
before take action.
Good deed we tell
by their actions.

Commentary:
The poem opens on a little finger holding mama's skirt,perhaps because of joy. But the woman would not look back but flung the skirt and little finger looses the grip and was at the cooking pot crashing. She turns back to see her beautiful littles grand daughter burning. It's a moral of: Observe well before taking action.
