No.
Sorry?
No.
What do you mean, no?
Just that, no.
I'm sorry, that's not acceptable.
Really? I'm not.
I deserve and apology for this treatment.
Make me lie, then. I'm not sorry.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Really? I'm not.
And here, I just sighed.
It was impossible.
She was impossible.
There was no way to get her to respect me, unless....
Thwack
And of course, she just glared at me, unperturbed.
She wouldn't look away.
She was challenging me, like always.
Why do I have to babysit her?
I'll tell mom.
I'll tell her first.
No, you won't. She's my mom.
I glared at her, and she glared right back.
Yep, there was just no way past the Sassmaster.
Shakespearian tongue-twister:

To sit in solemn silence
In a dark, dank dock
In a pestilential prison
With a lifelong lock;
Awaiting the sensation
Of a short, sharp shock
Of a cheap, chippy chopper
On a big black block.

I like the idea of this poem, but it was a bit hard to follow, not knowing who was speaking when.
I Love these two lines, because when my siblings and I would fight, this was my first threat, the telling of the parents! Of course, it never quite worked out as planned :)

Any way! Love it! Keep writing!
If you want to be a great writer, don't think about what you're going to write, just write it.

I'm a huge fan of writers block! When your brain halts, with no direction for where you should go, it gives you threads. All you have to do is pull and unravel the story you're meant to write.

I have to admit, this is great and funny and all that, but is it a poem? I can't seem to find a rhythm or a beat of any kind. It's absolutely hilarious, though hard to follow, but is it poetic? Think about that and see what you can do to give it a bit more of a rhythm :). Goodluck.
