Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Where Did I Go Wrong

She told me that I'd best obey
  My daughter always has her way
When I say 'No,' she stomps and pouts
  Then calls her friends to cuss me out

I don't know why she acts so mean
  I fulfill her every dream
With the latest tech and clothes
  She's a fashionista head to toe

She's realized all of her fantasies
  Except, I guess, getting rid of me

Beryl Edmonds December 7, 2020 at 7:38 PM No one would want rid of a dad like you, the tide will turn in a year or two, wait and see... Belle Gershon Wolf December 8, 2020 at 11:43 AM I like the sentiment and the rhyme in your comment, Belle. Wish it were true -- Two of my four kids have gotten rid of me so far... ~ Spurned and Burned

Mark Koplin December 6, 2020 at 7:15 PM Sounds like a typical teenager to me. Maybe it's time to drop the hammer. Good luck Gershon Gershon Wolf December 6, 2020 at 7:32 PM Let's go for an anvil and a hammer, Mark. lol. Thanks, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger December 6, 2020 at 7:12 PM I have to admit I would be inclined to stop fulfilling her dreams. The stomping and pouting I recognize. Ugh! Thanks for the reminder. Gershon Wolf December 6, 2020 at 7:31 PM You would deny this perfect teen-angel? -- You cruel, heartless human, you. lol. Exile to the Gulag would serve her right!! ~ Simon Legree

John Lawless December 6, 2020 at 6:22 PM I think that you should shut the door...and sprinkle tacks upon the floor.. but if she opens up the door...you're screwed, I think, because you snore... Gershon Wolf December 6, 2020 at 7:27 PM I'm screwed, alright... Heh, heh... Thanks for a little laughter on a dark December night, John! Festival Lights, Gershon
