MO TEE SUH'S SECRET WISHES

“Mama, I feel like nuthin’”
“Got no energy a-tall!”
“Mebbe, I’ll take the day off”
“And, go shoppin’ at the mall”

“You got energy to shop”
“Jest don’t feel like workin’ heah?
Mo Tee Suh’s mom let is fly
“I’m gonna make this real cleah”

“We got dishes to the ceilin”
“We got folks who wanna eat”
“You know what I wanna do?”
“Sit right down and soak my feet!”

“Mama, I been workin’ hard”
“I think I deserve some fun!”
“Git ovah to that sink, girl!”
“And, git all them dishes done!”

Mo Tee Suh’s thoughts curled her toes
As she washed all the dishes
One thing Mama couldn’t stop
Mo Tee Suh’s secret wishes
