Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Mask on Mom

For Mother's Day, I took the hint
Of giving Mom a gift that would
Be green and leave no carbon print.
A facial at home would be good.
So I mixed up an oatmeal goop,
And some seaweed from the fish tank,
Then covered Mom's face, scoop by scoop.
Mom said it itched, and it sure stank.
She wanted it off. I did try.
Dad walked in, took a glance and said,
"Looks like that Jason slasher guy."
At last unmasked, Mom went to bed.

Going green for Mom is too hard.
Next year it's back to just a card.
