It will be fine

said the son

I have four

you can get one.

 

Mom blinked hard

and tried to look brave.

I could get one

some other day.

 

Come on mom

choose one for you,

just here on your skin

you will love it, too.

 

Mom blinked hard

skin – in – needles and ink

Son, I think I will have to rethink.

And she chose five.
