Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Mother and Son

Grab the broom; now hurry up and sweep your room.
Go make your bed. Can’t you hear what I just said?
Take out the trash. No, you won’t get any cash!
Do your homework, Son. No games until you’re done.

My allowance is so small, I can’t buy a thing at all.
To my sister I’m not mean, and look, Mom, my hands are clean!
Just for once, can’t you say, “Go and play. Have fun today.”?
