Sandwiches To Impress
His mother went the extra mile
Spending hours after others went to bed
Creating sandwiches shaped like frogs
Baking cakes that resembled dinosaurs
Today Mat’s lunch was butterfly sandwich
Created from raisins, carrots and cucumbers
He traded it to his friend Willy
Loving Willy’s peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
Feeling jealous of Willy who had a playful kind mother
Wishing his mother would spend less time trying to impress
Wanting her time, wishing she would listen or play a game
She was too busy with her job and her sandwich creating
