A Cautionary tale of Obedience

(Or, the monster that lives within each parent)

Little boys who do not do
The things that they are told to do,
(And this applies to girls as well)
May one day hear their parents yell
Until their eyes pop out of their heads
Their faces change from pinks to reds
Their clenching fingers turn to claws
Saliva dripping from their jaws.
And little girls and little boys
Will vanish with a gulping noise
Their bones will crunch as they are swallowed.
If they had only heard and followed
What all their parents always said
They’d still be here, not eaten, dead.

So in order to grow up and old,
Remember: Do as you are told.
For if you don’t a nasty fate
Will happen and you might be ate.
