Mother and Son

Grab the broom; now hurry up and sweep your room. Go make your bed. Can’t you hear what I just said? Take out the trash. No, you won’t get any cash! Do your homework, Son. No games until you’re done. My allowance is so small, I can’t buy a thing at all. To my sister I’m not mean, and look, Mom, my hands are clean! Just for once, can’t you say, “Go and play. Have fun today.”? Jan. 31, 2018 for Kevin Shaw's "Write a funny Poem for a 7 year old" Contest

Hi Andrea, I found this write so real and down to earth. It was as though I penned this myself, that's just how relatable it is. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

Such a thoughtful write. Childhood is about having fun. Kids grow up so fast. Parents do well to teaching kids the value of balancing play and work time while they are young.
