Black Eyed Susan Poet Verse

Stuntman

Instead of asking 
Me to move my bike, you hid
It in the locked shed
When you saw me looking for 
It, you didn’t say a word

It’s been 10 years now
But you still pull the same stunts
With books, my laptop,
Turning off my internet – 
What kind of parent does this?

Andrea Dietrich July 23, 2011 at 12:25 PM Yes, I remember this one. It was quite unique and showed something about your childhood. I think we can learn a few things about how NOT to be from certain things our parents did. And now MY kids have probably learned a LOT on how not to be.haha. Congrats on the winners' circle, Susan. I'm very happy to have met you on this website!
