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
