Mothers And Daughters Poem by Marea Johnson

Her venom is toxic, lethal and quick
You'll be down on your knees, wrenching and sick.

One little false move is all that it takes
So pay close attention and make no mistakes.

Make a slight gesture that she doesn't like
She'll slap you right down with only one strike.

Puncture my flesh and purge out my vein
I cannot believe I've been stung once again

Maintain a stiff posture, and don't show your fright
Or she'll cripple you silly with only one bite

Keep restful your tongue and say not a word
For your pleas of sweet mercy will never be heard.

Puncture my flesh and purge out my vein
Oh Mother you've done it to me once again.
