One kid at a time I can handle fine, And you can bet I love both mine, But when you're getting up in years, More than one will bust your ears. They shout and yell and run about, They turn your house quite inside out I wonder which will be the first, To make my eardrums finally burst. You'd think that science could invent, A way to turn them down a bit, Or better still to make them quit With a simple on-off switch. I sometimes sit and try to think, A way that I could make them shrink, No bigger than a tiny tid bit, Like a dwarf that's too a midget. Then I could shove them in a drawer, And close it up and hear no more. |

Bad, bad Toe  Leave it to you to say what a lot of us are thinking. I dislike the LOUD of small children at times. And my 24yr. old is LOUD too with his electric guitar. I can hear it playing when I'm still down the street from his house in the car. Sometimes (and don't tell anyone) I see the cars of all his friends and I know they are in there jammin and I drive right on by! Loved the poem! Touch me with your whispers, and I'll listen with my heart. [This message has been edited by WhiteRose (08-27-2002 08:27 AM).] |

And this is why children should be seen and NOT heard, although my children are always heard, as in a herd of elephants is what they resemble. funny write Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I need my drawer space. I prefer to freeze-dry them until 21. THEN, let them loose! |

Did we ever have that much energy... and volume??? LOL My Dad swears yes... but I sorta doubt it. LOL I thought my sister's first two were rambunctious enough... now the little one makes them seem like models of peace and quiet. *G* Of course, the minute silence settles on my ears, I want them back. *G* I love this one, sweets... very much!!! |

Three o’clock feedings On a spouse you might foist But whether hunger or diapers There’s always the noise. They’re up Christmas mornings To see their new toys And exhausted parents Must deal with the noise. It seems every weekend Troups of girls and boys Come to play with your angels There’s always the noise. From ready rough-housing To mature and poised Wherever they are There’s still lots of noise. And then they settle down With their life’s choice And start a new family - And bring you more noise. LOL... Sorry, sweets... couldn't resist... it could be worse??? LOL |

Well Mr.Toe.... There is a secret to all of this... The way to make the noise stop but still keep the kids is to marry them off at a young age... preferably to someone wealthy.  The only problem with this is that it boomerangs back at you when they have their own kids and ask you to babysit them... But if they wait long enough to have these kids... believe it or not... you will actually welcome the noise   ~ hugs from an old philosophic grandmaLyra |

Toe darling man now this one I love, you are so so true, the noise is one thing I wouldn’t bring back. But then I wouldn’t bring the mess back either. Yes I’d definitely put them in a drawer and leave them there for a decade or two. Actually I have a soft spot for small loud children, no I have really …………….. it’s called a swamp Wonderful writing and Suthern darling heart YOUR reply is wonderful, I love it utterly. Post it so I can reply to it with due respect. (big grin) after all you wouldn’t want me to miss out giving it an in depth reply. (I wonder where you get lessons in those, there must be someone who gives them, don’t you think? *Smile) I love it utterly utterly utterly love it, well written extremely well written   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |
