You may use this as a lesson plan and give it to a friend you care about. When a friend gets off track and needs guidance, you can give him a dose of old fashion wisdom. Ma ma is a hero and no matter your age, she still has a big influence over you because ma ma knows best.
The problem occurs with your friend because he knows better, but he is not willing to do better. He is not willing to accept responsibility for any of his actions. One way of getting him to recognize that he has a problem is by writing him a “Ma ma said no!” poem.
Sample Poem:
Ma Ma Said No!
No! No! She said,
“Don’t touch that”
we hear little feet running
around in the house
hoping they will be
as quiet as a mouse
No! No! She said
“Don’t eat that”
as the teenager cries
from the pain of acne
yelling “why, why, why”
No! No! She said
“Don’t do that”
as the student talks
he sounds like a fool
“wants to drop out of school”
No! No! She said
“Don’t say that”
as the young adult says
“I never get any praise”
No! No! She said
“Don’t listen to that,”
when the child she loves much
listens to other people who says
“Honey, your goals are out of touch.”
No! No! She said. . .
