Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Good Gaslighter

Mom made me go to church with her.

During the sermon it occurred,

The sound of which I knew for sure.

Mom let out a loud fart I heard.

After church, driving us home, Mom

Asked why I kept giggling so.

When I told her, she remained calm,

And told me that she did not know

Why I would make up such a tale

To punish her and make her sad.

Something inside my head must ail

To make me treat my Mom so bad.

I accepted this truth to be,

Mom was good at gaslighting me.
