The Everyday Special of the House

The Every Day Special of the House By Elton Camp In many families it is on the bill of fare The parents know too well it’s there For the dish nearly drives them wild The one served by an ungrateful child Because it will always include A generous portion of attitude Smothered with dirty looks galore Of eye rolling there’s very much more Then there’s sarcasm served as dessert It matters not how the cruel words hurt An offspring to parents surely does owe At bare minimum of appreciation to show How wrong to take what they provide Then repay with cruel remarks so snide For all they suggest show vile contempt As if from common courtesy exempt After the parents have passed away It’ll be too late any kinds words to say
