A Kid Should Be A Kid
I know kids should be kids
Too many parents will not allow it
Be quiet whenever you are around
Don’t play too hard or get dirty
And above all, never ever smile too big
I feel so sorry for kids like that
They do not have parents
They have wardens and guards
I say we should just let a kid be a kid
That is what they were meant to be
Little monsters playing with their friends
Screaming and howling their heads off
Coming home so dirty, you don’t know them
But coming home with the biggest smile ever
If you cannot raise a kid that way
Please just don’t have them
They deserve parents so much better than you
