Carol Mitra Poet Free verse

Mum's the Word

Watching cartoons on Television
No one could block my vision
Mum needed her afternoon nap
So she would press the mute button.
One day mum started shouting
I had not done my home work
I was sad and started pouting
I ran and got the remote
And pointing it towards
My mums open mouth
I kept pressing the mute button
We understood one another
Both now silent and sullen.
