Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

What a Rude Attitude

A bad tempered brat from Nantucket
Drops her phone, but claims that a thief took it
The girl will not calm down
Her swearing makes dad frown
She raises her fist shouting ‘suck it’! 

The meaning couldn’t be misconstrued
Her father says just quit your foul mood 
She says she trashed her phone -
dropped it on her way home
She’s grounded for lies and being rude

Caren Krutsinger May 20, 2018 at 10:12 PM Oh, I wish this was true. Tell me it's true. So many children today do not have any consequences, and they are begging for an adult in their life who will set some rules. Jan Allison May 21, 2018 at 1:29 AM Oh if only it was true ...We both have worked in education Caren and see the problems caused by student's not having guidelines to follow and good parental role models:-( I did see one student deliberately drop their phone in the street (not in school time) and it just co -incided with the release of a new i phone:-( no idea if parents caught on!!) hugs jan xx

Andrea Dietrich May 20, 2018 at 4:58 PM NIce one about those kinds of people who simply can't "fess up!! How are you doing today? I only need to do comments and then I can work on poems since I got all my other duties done (except for dinner yet to come!) Jan Allison May 20, 2018 at 5:14 PM Apart from my broken finger I am doing fine just soooooo frustrating not to be able to do what you take for granted:-( have a lovely day:-) hugs Jan xx

Michelle Faulkner May 20, 2018 at 2:22 PM Love rhyming "misconstrued" with "foul mood" - so moody like most teenagers! Jan Allison May 20, 2018 at 2:31 PM I woke up with the first stanza in my head and just elaborated with the second one lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham May 20, 2018 at 2:02 PM And rightly so Jan, some kids today have no respect. In addition no Facebook for a month. You highlighted the spoilt brat syndrome well lol. Tom Jan Allison May 20, 2018 at 2:06 PM I recall when i worked in school one kid would deliberately drop their phone and amazingly it always co incidence with the launch of the latest i-phone:-( hugs Jan xx
