They Were Children And Kids Who Got Bigger

Oh, Grow Up! Mother would shout.

You don’t know what you’re talking about!

You, smirking like that…!

You should get a smack…!

Just try and talk back…!

You won’t sit down for a week!

You and your silly damn cheek!

Maybe you’ll live in the street!

But until you do…

You better, you…

Watch it! And pick up your feet!
