“Every pot can be
A teapot
But not all of them can make
Sufficiently
Good tea,”
He said, and fussed
And set the bag
To rest
On the edge
To breathe
For me.
“I’ll take coffee,”
Said the mother,
Contrary just because
She had the right
To be.

Na’ama Y’karah,
Mothers usually do have a right to be contrary. 😉 I like the way you set the family dynamic in a few words and over tea to boot. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

🙂 Yep, I think mothers have a special array of rights to call on – some utilize it more than others, but the right to contrary remains … 😉
Thank you for the praise! 🙂
Yay!
