Mr. Belvedere Doesn'T Live Here............

Parents are so busy and pre-occupied with their own lives, They never flinch when the doorbell rings twice, They yell for the children to open the door, Chastising them forevermore....... Yet, parents get upset when the children disappear, When they vanish into thin air, They blame everyone except themselves for not doing their due diligence, If parents really cared they wouldn't throw their children to the wolves, Who knows what lurks behind the doors, Sometimes vagrants, up to no good! If parents aren't able to handle their tasks and have responsibilty for the kids, They should seek a Mr. Belvedere whose only task would be to bow and scrape, and opening the doors so the children won't vanish or escape.

Gee, I never thought of this danger, Margaret, but then I don't have children. They need all the protection they can get in today's world and parents should either answer the door themselves or, as you say, hire a Mr. Belvedere. Very enlightening thoughts. Love, Carolyn
