Cotton wool
It is instinctive,
No parent can help it,
If cotton wool is in the house,
A parent will find it.
When single we don't see a need for it,
But as soon as that little bundle of joy arrives,
It is added to the must have list.
It has caused many a marriage to self-destruct,
And should only be used as directed,
Preferably by a maiden Aunt,
Or understanding grandparents,
Who were brought up on a farm.
Of course there are dangers to protect children from,
But sooner or later the real world beckons.
Preparing them to live in it requires less cotton Wool,
And more risk management teaching.
But before you throw out all the cotton wool,
Experts agree that it may be,
The only thing to keep them safe,
From Danger in the virtual world.
