Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

What's a Parent to Do

   drinking the water…
     … from his bath… 
   destroying whatever’s…  
     … in his path…

   mistaking the floor
     … for the loo…
   whatever’s a parent
     … to do?!... 

   With this advice you’ll agree …
      what’s more, it is free …
   … tell your terrible two
          …to turn three
