KNOTTED NEEDS
Needy newborn
Is it milk you want
Gotta stop that crying
Can't have you guant
Tiresome toddler
Does your diaper need tending
Gotta stop that crying
Can't have you mending
Chatty child
Is it an answer you desire
Gotta stop that asking
Can't have your mind in the fire
Testing teen
Does your ideas need adjusting
Gotta stop that rebellion
Can't have you giving in to all that lusting
Aware adult
What is your heart's passion
Gotta ask for what you want
Can't complain when you expect a ration
...of care
