Son Watch Your Sweets

Picture Promt Paradox Poetry Contest
Sponsor-Margarita Lillico 

Your mother's mistake springs from her sweet hearts
That summer midnight your dad lacked the smarts
We did our best in our fall
Winter came and life's snowball
Son, be wise of life's many moving tarts

Notes-Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter are the seasons (seasonings) as mentioned in the poem. The mother's advice to her son since she endured the seasonings, the salted wounds ... and the sugar and spice is to be mindful of what he consumes (indulgences) and what he participates in and not follow in her and his father's steps.

hmmm... sounds like it was all the woman's fault. Say it isn't so.
