Under Pressure: A Pantoum for My Mother

I got your letter last week,
and you're wanting to know....
I have not written a pantoum.
Too many demands on my time.

And you're wanting, too! Know
what a busy woman I am?
Too many demands on my time!
My schedule is very full!

What a busy woman I am!
Things are piling up around here.
My schedule is very full.
How could you know?

Things are piling up around here.
I got your letter last week.
How could you?! No!!
I have not written a pantoum!!!
