Naughtiness Unnoticed

Preamble

I have been asked to write a poem on children.  Here is my contribution.

 

How can I write a poem

About a naughty boy ?

When I was good, so helpful

My mother's pride and joy

 

It seems I have inherited

My mother's be-nice genes

Transferred them to my daughters

No naughtiness have I seen
 

I coasted along quite nonchalantly

Naughtiness unaware

Until I saw my daughters in

The French Folies Bergere

 

The moral of my story

Is share life with your child

Take an interest in what they do

To stop them running wild
