The New Word I Learnt Today

'Helicopter parents'
          This should be the title

Let me start by looking at my childhood
          Okay Okay Okay, I think it was okay

Maybe I should look around
          Okay Okay Okay, I won't judge

Maybe I should start with me
          Okay Okay Okay, am not saying anything 

Am going to use my inside voice on this
          maybe in some years to come I can use the trumpet
