Parents
Some parents just let their children run riot
Then blame it on E numbers in their diet
I myself think that times have now changed
The children nowadays are somewhat deranged
Children are screaming for no apparent reason
When they are off school it’s the screaming season
Children can play parents one against the other
If the dad won’t let them they’ll go ask the mother
The children rule ok and the parents are immune
Someone ought to tell them how to deal with them soon
Children only act as their parents allow them to
Some of these children belong in a secure zoo
Most are lacking manners and don’t know right from wrong
Our future generations just don’t seem to belong
There are no deterrents they just do as they please
Someone should tell them all about the birds and bees
My children were no angels and they sometimes did things wrong
But once I had got wind of it they didn’t do it for long
Respect is what is needed and that has gone away
This isn’t how it was back in my day
My parents were strict and times back then were hard
I was brought up and respected them without a credit card
My mum and dad helped me so much to try and get along
There were always there for me and taught me right from wrong
