All Her Fantasies -- Retitled

She warned me that I'd best obey
   My daughter always has her way

When I say 'No,' she stomps and pouts
   Then calls her friends to cuss me out

I don't know why she acts so mean
   'Cos I fulfill her every dream

With the latest in tech and stylish clothes
   She's a 'fashionista' head-to-toe...

She's realized all her fantasies ~
   Except for getting rid of me

Sounds slightly like my 16-year-old used to. I feel your pain. Te He. I want to try writing a couplet, it looks like fun. This one sure is!

Such a fine set of couplets, Gershon. I must have missed it on the first go-round, so thanks for bringing it back. I sometimes think that some of our best work gets buried by time.
