Suggestions from Meddling Maude

Meddling Maude has a dangerous belief
that she knows better than others
she can raise your child and discipline it too
whatever you do, probably needs tweaking
and she is glad to be the tweaker

She does not see any benefit to keeping opinions to yourself
Maude shares her brilliant advice with people she encounters
strangers on the street are given tips and tidbits
About what they are doing wrong
And how they could do them more right

Maude rapidly makes snap pea decisions and judgements
Lavishly slathering these ideas and suggestions on
her family and co-workers
She used to help her “friends” out too
But most of them have shunned her
They do not respond to her texts.

This does not stop her from leaving her ingenius deas
as to how they can improve on their answering machines.
