My Mother's Applause

My mother's applause 
Often times glamorous 
Upon my head
She pours me encomium 
Tells me
Your eyes are like 
Shrimps full of shrimps"
Dad had cautioned 
Countless times 
And it was so overwhelming 
At her nuance
That she had to stop 
That shrimps in my face
Means to afford folks
Beautiful things to eat
Never tire of beautiful spring 
Wealth and prosperity
