The Poem below is one that my children really like a lot. Now they are all grown up and have their own children to teach.
My Mean Parents
My mom and dad are very mean,
I'd like to trade them in,
It seems no mater what I do,
It's classified as sin.
I only want to stay up late,
And let my homework go,
Well, anyway it could be done,
After I watch this show.
And surely meat and vegetables,
Can't be as good as pie,
And soda, chips and pretzels,
And candy; My oh my!
These things provide the energy,
I need to run and play,
It gets exasperating,
When I cannot get my way!
But wait, here in the Bible,
I see God's holy plan,
Children obey your parents,
If you'd grow to be a man.
Believe God gives them wisdom,
To raise you for his glory,
Then with them in eternity,
You'll tell a different story.
With praises to the Lord of Lords,
Whose blood has made you clean,
You'll see my friend that after all,
Your parents weren't so mean.
