Talking To Kids of a Whole New Generation
Note: This is not my kids. This is dedicated to a......friend
Now my children time has come for me to talk to you.
I've let you make your choices in what you wear and do.
But this has gone way to far and way to fast.
So let me touch on some points that had better not last.
Daughter, with multi rings on your fingers and 2 on your toes.
I know sooner or later they'll be one through your nose.
Then do you know what will happen next time you sneeze?
You'll be shootin' big 'ol snot globs out that hole at me.
That tattoo that you've got on your big left breast
You think it's sexy now, but let me tell you what to expect.
Right now it's up there sitting pretty as you can see.
But when you reach the age of 60, where do you think it will be?
Son that tongue stud that your sporting doesn't look to sweet.
I'm waiting for you to swallow it, the next time you eat.
You swear it is in there tightly and you have no fear.
But when you tried to demonstrate you choked on it my dear.
Daughter, that eyebrow bar is just the ugliest thing you've done.
It looks like you had an accident with a pneumatic staple gun.
Oh!, and lets not forget that sexy belly button ring.
When you get old and forgetful, you can hang you keys from that thing.
Son? Just what were you thinking when you picked out your new tat?
Homer Simpson eating a donut? Couldn't you find something other than that?
And to have it proudly spread out on your behind
says you'll never have a girlfriend, unless she is blind.
Then there is the subject of the ear plugs in your lobes.
Just how big do you intend to let those puppies go?
They're going to hang down like some ear handle
Folks will think I dropped you twice. Oh god, They're going to dangle.
Daughter those clothes your wearing don't make you a looker.
I won't pay the bail when you are mistaken for a hooker.
Son, you'd better be pullin' up your pants, you hear?
No one wants to see you walk like you've a load in there.
Last and certainly not the least, your choice of hair salons.
I never thought I'd see the day my daughter and my son
Both with rainbow spiked hair, it all just says so much
It says "Please don't hire me because I'm a big butt munch
