Mom's Advice

"Wear a helmet on your head. "
That is what my mother said. 
"And don't ride bicycles on the stair,"
she would forcefully declare.
Her advice I would dismiss.
That's why I write poems like this.

My Mom asked, "Where are you going?" I shot back, "Why?" That made her cry... I'm such a nice guy. ~ Y.Y.
