Parenting is difficult

Parenting is difficult a chore,
Children nowadays want more and more,
Are not taught the precept "do without !"
But are taught God's axioms well to flout.

"Be the best in science at your school,
But the Lord you are free to ridicule".-
"Education is important Joe`!
First row is for you, not second row!

God forbid rebukes and remonstrance,.
Let them happily smoke pot and dance,
Young folk got to feast and celebrate,
And their youthful appetites well sate".

Let youmg children never know the rod,
But fine ponies they can proudly trod,
Till they are unlucky and fall off,
"But don't preach to them 'bout earnest love"!

Give in to their flings and every whim,
And to keep with sports their bodies trim.
Nothing matters but success, succes!-
Heaven blesses thoughtless ruthlessness..

"Use deft hocus-pocus daughter Jean,
Carry on some issues well to spin"
"Wear appearance's glib mask's disguise,
"You got skills dear daughter, and are wise!"

Parenting these days is not facil,
Children got it all - and yet have naught.
They obtained from parents what is ill,
And left out the best - the living God..
