More Harm Than Good
Words on a T-shirt of a preschooler
‘If you think I’m bad, blame my dad’
Cause less concern about the child
Than the role model that he had
Unfortunate enough to witness
Shirts with verbiage of neglect
A few too many that left my
Mouth open, stomach upset
The typical ones ‘Pretty princess with an attitude,’ and
‘If you think I’m cute you should see my dad’
Do not bother my core
As a few others had
‘Doing more harm than good,’ made my eyes roll
‘I want what I want,’ made me mad
‘And your point is?’ made me shake my head
‘The world owes me a living,’ made me sad
Although I slightly laughed when I read
‘I pee in the pool’
It still sends the message
The parent is a fool
‘Aren’t you glad I’m not your kid’
Made me think it couldn’t get any worse
Until I read ‘Do not resuscitate’
And heard myself curse
