Just Another Reason (Free verse) by Skamper
teach me a small lesson
one guaranteed to fit the rules
and I will make it last a lifetime
frighten your children with the world
shy away from discipline
'til indulgent little bubbles burst
spraying cries and tantrums round the room
and find the cause in the fizzy drink
they had for lunch -
still - your decisions
wrapped in caring/loving smiles
inflicted on your cossetted ofspring
whining away the hours 'til another
dreary program comes on television -
don't turn your weary eyes to me
I already learned my lesson
from the pouting look
upon your face
