My Two Kids

My Two Kids


I have two kids
One eight,one five.

It's a wonder that
I,m still alive

They hit, 
They scream,
They yell, 
They bite.

From early in the morning,
Till late at night.

They say they'll change,
At an older age

Won't yell,
Won't scream,
Won't fly
Into a rage.

Let them live
And be healthy
And grow up strong.

But if this keeps up,
I won't live too long.

You sound like the Original Mother - I like how you seem to encourage freedom at the risk of injury - J.A.B. %
