Parents


Why did God make parents?
Revenge His likely reason
Giving us discomfort
No matter what the season

Logic has no meaning
in their universes
Their constant 'correction'
keeps us mumbling curses

Bane of our existence
Purpose to annoy us
If we do not rally
They will soon destroy us

I pray for a smackdown
Justice now is lacking
God will answer someday
With his fist attacking

First to knock into them
the common sense now missing
Then to push them downwards
and to my feet be kissing

Then I think for spite He
should take away their car
their house and their savings
let them question who they are

Giving it all to me
To make them understand
living life with nothing
is not quite so grand

As a final insult
they must ask permission
to use my new belongings
learning true submission

I'll make their curfew 3pm
and take away their freedom
then hinder all their hobbies
They should know I don't need 'em

Last I'll scare away their friends
For I alone can judge them
And when I see someone I like
Only towards them I'll nudge them
