Good Teen Fun

Teens are dumb
It’s not their fault.
They must have fun
And then get caught.
Though parents do
The best they can;
They don’t know how,
Or where or when
To just say no
Or that’s enough!
The kid just laughs
And says that’s tough!

While fathers tend
To say just wait;
What future holds
Depends on fate.
The mothers’ woe
Is so much worse.
She cries all day
And wants to curse.
It seems all you
Can do is laugh.
And as they say,
This too shall pass.

When children grow up
It’s easy to see,
How this one’s like you

He’s got your good looks.

May not always flatter.

Or my Uncle who died?
And when they were teens
I wouldn’t claim those genes.
But now as adults
I’m pleased with the results!

The Big Payoff

I began to write poems

In the midst of a recession.

At a time when it seemed like

An unlikely obsession.

 

It certainly wasn’t

Going to be my profession.

Especially when I hadn’t had

One single lesson.

 

My 401K was dwindling

By the hour.

So I thought I’ld write a poem

To avoid being sour.

 

Without very much talent,

I can guess what you’re thinking.

But a poem each day,

Is better than drinking!

 

So don’t waste time crying

About Bernie Madoff.

Just get busy rhyming

I guarantee a payoff!

Important Things

Daughters learn from Mothers,

But Mothers learn from Daughters too.

Things like

Don’t wear leggings!

One hundred dollar flat irons are

Better than twenty dollar flat irons.

Quinoa is better than white rice.

Don’t wear leggings!

Twenty dollar razors are

Better than two dollar razors.

Only wash your hair once a week.

One hundred and fifty dollar jeans are

Better than forty dollar jeans.

Don’t wear leggings!

And most importantly,

Everything feels better

With a tank top!
