Unit 1 All About Feelings

Talk to Mama

Whenever I'm angry, I count out loud,

Count to a hundred and let my anger out,

And I remember Mama saying aloud,

'Tell me, dear, what you're angry about.'

Whenever I'm hurt, I just want to cry,

To moan, to whimper, to sob and sigh,

Then I remember Mama asking me to try,

To pour out my feelings and tell her why.

Whenever I'm lonely, I've no friends to meet,

Tasty food I'll munch and eat,

Then I remember Mama saying to me,

'Be nice to others and friends you'll meet.'

Whenever my feelings get too strong,

To shout, to moan, to complain is wrong,

I know dear Mama was right all along, Talk to Mama and my problems will be gone.
