'Smarty-pants'

    ‘smarty-pants’
       too big for his britches

    kept his audience
       in virtual stitches

    on the road from rags to riches
       ran into some unforeseen glitches

    courtesy of parents' old-fashioned switches
       'smarty-pants’ derriere throbs and twitches

Lol those were the good Old days Gershon now they throw you in jail for child abuse. How wrong is that, that you can't discipline your children without answering to your governments idiotic standards of discipline? No wonder today's kids have no direction, put their cell phones over anything, and lack socially. Not all but many... Thanks for sharing...

Today's device-addicted kids are socially, emotionally, and every which way I can think of --- DEPRIVED of living and experiencing life. What a shame!
