1201

[image created for me by Bing AI]

 It was one of those days

When happiness and strife

Sat at her table to dine

On words witty and rife

Firstly she said knocking

A spoon on the teapot

I want silence and attention

Despite your mouthfuls

Of sweet and sour delights

Someone raised a hand

A gesture she thought annoying

And attention grabbing

Yet she smiled sweetly

Nodding her head and holding

Her tongue, in a simple task

Of conforming by example.
