FALSE BLAME
A scolding
Mother
Spoke to
Her child
Angrily...
Why do you
Upset me
With your
Careless
Ways
And stupid
Says?
The child
Looked agast!
For he
Had done
Naught
To deserve
Such
Talk.
Still, he thought
Long and hard
But to
No avail...
Don't look
Like you
Don't know
What you've
Done
Scolded his
Mum
Once more!
I really
Don't know
Said he
With tears in
His eyes
Pleadingly...
Humph!
Who spilled
The milk
And broke
The mug
Wasn't it you?
Yelled rhe
Mother
Tell me
The truth!
I always
Tell the truth
Mum
Replied the
Lad.
It wasn't me
But
Gary
The cat!
Just then
A meow
Was heard
And along
Came
Gary
His black
Whiskers
White as
Snow!
