Some of you need a time-out
What with all the tomfoolery you get up to
All of you really should be grounded
Because of those shenanigans
Back in my day, you’d been taken to task
For stepping out like you are
I mean, you’d been whipped with a switch
For your temper tantrums
At the very least, you guys should have a stern talking to
For the things you have been doing

Good advice
This is so true! I would never dare speak to my parents the way kids nowadays speak to their parents!
Whatever happened to speak softly and carry a big stick? I know my father had one in his arsenal.
I forevermore will say this poem in my head everytime I have to go out in public and see how parenting skills differ from how and when I was reared and I reared my children....pardon the pun, but some rears still need a switch!
“I mean, you’d been whipped with a switch” lol these kids know nothing about the switch!
Great poem!
