Take A Tablet

My Mum is super crazy, my Mum is super wild,
And when I say crazy, I don't just mean mild.
She's making me take a tablet, she's practically gone mad.
She says "Come on dear, it can't be that bad!"

It's like torcher to me Mum, like a punishment I said,
"If you don't take that tablet son, I will send you straight off to bed!"
"Why do I have to Mum? Why, oh why?" I say.
"Oh come on Son" she grumbled, "we go through this everyday".

Then all of a sudden my Mum began to shout,
She screamed and screamed and screamed, it was starting to freak me out!
"You take that tablet now Boy, you take it right away,
you don't want to know what will happen if you don't do what I say!"

I stopped and stared at my Mother,from her toes to her top.
"Well I refuse to STEAL a tablet from the computer shop!"
