Mommies

MOMMIES
Make you brush your teeth
And put your old clothes on
And clean the room
And call you from the playground
And fuss at daddies and uncles
And tuck you in at night
And kiss you
[from SPIN A SOFT BLACK SONG by Nikki Giovanni, Trumpet, 1985]
Extension:Invite students to share their own memory of a family member. Have students compose their own poem of a family member.
