How To Give the Bad News
How To Give the Bad News
By Elton Camp
To parents, there’s bad news to deliver
It makes the adolescent child shiver
“My dad is surely going to kill me
Unless some special trick I can see”
“You’re irresponsible!” he will say
“How can you do family this way!”
Son hit up on a wily scheme
It worked just like a dream
“Dad, my girlfriend’s in a family way”
Is what the teenager proceeded to say
In outage, the parent began to yell
About to give his son hottest hell
“Hey, that was nothing but a joke.
I failed my bio exam,” he spoke
With a huge sigh of relief
His Dad gave him no grief
