A Parent's Karma

A Parent's Karma Mothers, fathers There is something you must learn I doubt that your parents will tell you Their parents never told them And it goes back through time The children you love The ones you treasure with all your heart They are demons spawned to punish you You don't know that they can communicate Without words or paper They use their minds So you will not know what they are doing Until it is beyond too late And you find your child painted some ungodly color You may find your shoes filled with water You may find the dog with shaved places Or they may just sit quietly Not behaving or misbehaving They will just sit perfectly still Planning what to do the next time you go out You will never know Until it is beyond too late Just remember when it happens You did the same to your parents And they did the same to theirs Following a trend that goes back All the way to Adam and Eve and their children However, when you are cleaning up their newest mess Remember two things Your parents placed the curse on youi Because you made their life a living hell And remember the most important thing of all Karma is a ***** And someday you kids will learn that too If you let them live long enough
