Golden Rules At the Finest Schools

I sent my daughter to the finest schools
     where she learned all the golden rules

   Race-baiting pays, one's pronouns are weighed
     with marijuana fill up the ashtrays 

   'B-' student in high school, all 'A's' in college
     'Hmmm,' I thought to myself, 'No way!'

   Then I glanced at the names of her courses
     'Kweer Poetry' and 'Intro to Transphobic Horses'

   So, I told my daughter she'd have to transfer
     into 'Business' ~ to be a hemp entrepeneur

Reminds me of my dad telling my daughter: Sure get a belly ring, just don’t install it. (Those Dad one liners are priceless)

They can spell cat, but they don't know what it/he/she/they/we mean.

I try my best with my kids. Often feel like a failure...
