Ever seen her

when she’s MAD?

Angry MAD?

Steer clear!

Don’t dare sneer!

*

First, she smiles serenely

jokes, cajoles,

dishes out ā€˜second chances’

But step over the mark…

It will be no lark!

*

When she’s MAD

Her temper sizzles

Then quickly cools

Skips the ā€˜sulks’

And trading insults!

*

Ever seen her

when she’s MAD?

Crazy MAD?

Draw near!

Raise a cheer!

*

First, she smiles congenially…

jokes… sanity takes a stroll!

She embraces circumstances

Strikes a crazy spark…

Creates an ā€˜Amusement Park’!

*

    That sounds like an amusement park with rides I do not want to get on! Like an episode of snapped turned into a carnival! Love it!
