Lady, Please Shut Your Kid Up

It is a situation no one would call bliss.
Fewer things in life are considered bad as this.
When a mother has a loud-screaming kid with her,
it is a pain to my ears, and a big bother.

You know it’s an embarrassing predicament,
when your child is a loud juvenile delinquent.
It’s never too early to teach your kid some class.
He has not shut up since the doctor slapped his ass.
Won’t you make an attempt, or don’t you really care?
Right now, I feel like choking off all of his air!
You must realize the situation you’re in.
That little brat should know that silence is golden.

Everyone knows human wants are insatiable.
When they’re vocalized, they are intolerable.
I know it’s difficult to keep them satisfied.
Please shut your kid up, or he will become deep-fried!
