Why So Curt?

Why so curt
You little squirt
I’ll wash your mouth out with some soap
Then I will not have to cope

With all the words you have to say
Maybe you should go and pray
If you say more I just may
Have some tasty words to say

If you yell again my child
It will really drive me wild
The baby’s sleeping in the bed
Please go out and play instead

I see that you have changed a bit
This I like please come and sit
Thanks my child I love you so
I just wanted you to know
