Here we have our dust-free dining set
|
We guarantee it won¡¯t collect a speck
|
Freeing up the children to instead
|
Grow into your molding
|
Heed more of your scolding
|
Go early to their new self-making beds
|
|
Seems like you¡¯d be tired of losing face
|
Like you¡¯d want to put the children in their place
|
The more you have to tell them to do their chores
|
The more you run the risk of being ignored
|
If you¡¯re lucky they¡¯ll turn out as good as you
|
You tell them that they¡¯re good kids but you know it isn¡¯t true
|
Your father drank a little; you¡¯re on liver number two
|
Progress has a way of feigning ease
|
Convenient new inventions bait the tease
|
For though it is impossible to cure:
|
A husband bent on cheating
|
The oxygen depleting
|
A child who¡¯s always bragging
|
A wife¡¯s persistent nagging
|
We¡¯re equipped to live though it were
|
|
If you¡¯re lucky they¡¯ll turn out as good as you
|
You tell them that they¡¯re good kids but you know it isn¡¯t true
|
Your father drank a little; you¡¯re on liver number two
|
