A Misunderstanding

While I was showering,
My mother was in the adjacent
Room, watching a sales show.
Through the splash and splatter
Of water on porcelain, I could not
Make out what the saleswoman
Was saying. By the tone of her
Voice, I had thought something
Terrible had happened; that she
Was a newswoman instead, reporting
Some tragic occurrence.
Nay, she was selling jewelry.
"These bracelets will go
Quick, so you had better hurry!"
