Pay-Back Time For the Children

By Elton Camp

May you live long enough
So, on your kids, it’s tough

Become a raving lunatic
That should do the trick

Roam the streets all day
That’ll make them pay 

The worry that they brought
Their lives now will be fraught

Have a lawyer pave the way
So you can’t be put away

Dress as wild as you will
Let them feel that chill

With shady ones, hang out
Show what concern’s about

All the worry they caused you
Make them now come to rue
