Raging Moms

While Mom is busy raging
  In what are kids engaging
Are they with her on the battle-line
  Do they cling in fear to her hemline

Women screaming slogans shrill
  Some consider this a thrill --
Once we scorned child-vaudeville
  What will raging moms instill

Raging Moms will instill raging children is my belief; sadly.

And those raging moms expect their kids to be upstanding, clear-thinking people! Good one, Gershon. Janice

Exactly right, Janice. Perfect insight... And, of course, those raging moms think that they themselves are upstanding, clear-thinking people! So, why shouldn't their daughters follow suit?! Always enjoy your observations. Thanks a million. ~ Gershon
