Mother's Lament

 

Now that you have made a fool of yourself

and embarrassed us in the process

now that you went against

what we told you specifically Not to do

now that you've acted stupidly

and caused us grief and sorrow

now that your plan backfired on you

and you hurt others and yourself

now that you generally

made a mess of things

which you will never outgrow

and which will follow you

for the rest of your life

I hope you're happy now

I hope you're happy now.

dk it seems you've been
A very silly boy
Buggered up on lotsa things
Treated things as toys

I'm sorry I can't help you
You've done your dash I'm 'fraid
You've made your bed and feathered it
On now it you must laid

I hope you're happy now ?
