There
are certain things one restates
When
in the company of children
And
then there are those,
That
lose all potency, when a softened
Stance
is struck
There
are certain things
That
kids these days
unexpectedly
repeat
They’ll
spin back those nasty verbs
The
ones you didn’t think
they could’ve overheard
And
oftentimes, they’ll use such terms
When
an argument ensues
But
instead of admonish them
You
cannot hold back the red
And
demand they repeat back what they just said
For
there’s something inherently funny
when
vulgarity is spoken by
innocent
girls and boys
oftentimes,
such a riot
you
cannot remain quiet
and
your laughter quickly turns to tears
which
of course
is
something children hold so dear,
that
is, the sound of elation in you they’ve caused
so,
unfortunately they’ll surely use such words again, if only to regain your delightful
applause.
And
so, to compensate
you
create made-up languages to replace such words
Or
simply become that parent that always and forever spells
