Raising a Kid Isn'T Easy

Raising a Kid isn't Easy You notice that fish don't do it Some even eat their offspring If you can't control it, I guess that you chew it Teen-agers are especially hard Pigs are good for bacon and lard They don't attempt to diaper their young 'Cos they take frequent mud-baths in the yard Then there's the inimitable hen Who lays eggs and lies on them long How long though will they mother their chicks When they peck Momma Hen 'til she's sick So, yes, we humans sure suffer a lot For sticking with the kids we've begot In fact, here's a perfect example for you My triplets just stepped in dog-doo

Some fish might have the right idea "If you can't control it, I guess that you chew it" Even though it sounds harsh to those who have never taught.

"raising a kid isn't easy" That is an understatement if there ever was one. They certainly don't come with instructions and no two kids are the same. Good luck with that:) However, one must have patience and a memory of what it was like when they were young and a big damn paddle:)

One of my high school coaches had the 'paddle with a nail in it' model. No kidding. It sure got us running!!

Five children = five different blessings. I'm sure you're proud of each and every one of them! ~ Gershon
