And What Of Parenthood?
They’re cute as babies
Terrible when toddlers
And near on impossible as teenagers.
My only role seems to be as referee
Between their spats.
And then as if by magic
They turn on me!
But I’m preparing them for life,
The world outside.
How to win an argument
How to get out of a job
How to con money out of middleaged defenceless ladies,
And how to melt a heart
With one little smile,
Three words,
One kiss.
