Mother & Son Reunion

He doesn't like to laugh
or cry
in front of you.

He doesn't want to die
of embarrassment
either.

Ever wonder why?
It's the stuff you come out with!

'Oh Mother!' he says,
hiding his face.

You sigh.

'It's time to grow up boy!'
you're itching to reply.

But today
you stay schtum,
Mum.
