The Wrong Recipient

Typing out this message to my friend 
I look it over and then press send 
Go about my business waiting for a reply 
No response and a couple hours have gone by 

I check to see if I sent the text 
It was sent so now I'm perplexed 
Why haven't I heard back yet 
Did they see it and then forget 

I find myself getting irritated 
I'm getting annoyed and aggravated 
So I check my phone one more time 
Then I read the recipient line 

Oh no I sent it to my mom 
Maybe that's why I got no response 
She saw it and probably got embarrassed 
How could I have been so careless 

That text for her was not meant 
Would never want her to see that pic I sent 
I guess I should be a little more alert 
When sending a text trying to flirt 

             -C.A.Saputo xoxo
