OK Pops you’ve had your say About us modern youth Now I stand up and say No Way It’s you that needs the truth It’s like we owe the national debt Huh! Owe you back your life? Get real old man it’s you not us That caused your stress and strife I suppose you hated nappies too Or little boys that cried Punished us when we were right Praised us when we lied You’re oh so bloody perfect Nah Nah I told you so We just can’t all stop laughing As you put on your show You lost control dad years ago When No! Just might mean Yess So now we can’t be Bothered Won’t even try to guess You say there is No Free Lunch I guess we prove you wrong We play you for the mug you are Practiced all along So shut your face complaining You’re looking very sad Once we tire of this game You’ll still be my old dad But if you want to take me on Come on dad try your best You taught almost all I know Now I’ll teach you the rest |

The conflict between parent and child is a subject which, cliche it may be, I have not seen, at least not on this site. Very strong reaction against those lapses of reason which parents tend to wander into. Nice job. |

Hi… UT Ahhh the doors are open gloves are off..The kids will always win cause mum and dad are so soft... Hi Hunnie Yes I was being a little controversial in a funny way…… but I mixed up the last verse a little But if you want to take me on Come on dad try your best You taught almost all I know Now I’ll teach you the rest It should have been But if you want to take me on Come on dad try your best You taught me ALL that you knew Now I’ll teach you the rest Eric |

Oh Sonny you, just like I said, think that you know it all, that you invented everything, you're heading for a fall. But I've forgot more than you'll know, though I've taught you a lot... I'd need a few more decades to share in all I've got! Now take this new found arrogance and try it on your own. You'll soon come running back to Dad when you are all alone. For even though your hormones make you feel you are a man. When true reality hits you... you'll cry out for your Mam! The joys of youth, to know it all, get wet behind the ears.. Grow some feathers, learn to live, don't shout to hide your fears. Don't discount the wisdom of those who've walked before. For one day you'll be glad of them, to lift you off the floor! Oh, growing up is such a pain, but not for you, for us. I never known a teenager who didn't make a fuss. Thank God that we have been there to or else we might not know. That most of the aggression there is simply just for show! |

You think you are a policeman Strut about in charge Glance down at your belly now It’s getting far too large You like to do the Ironing? Tidy up the shelf? In this modern day and age It should do it itself But wait your Oh So Clever Then don’t you think it’s odd I get by on nothing (he he) You always need a job I can stay awake all night Sleep the whole day long In your institution… yawn You think that this is wrong? Your women may be full of grace Mine are young and free I know cause I am on the case Rather you than me I want to enjoy my youth Your chance has long since passed Not worry about my bedside teeth Or Living in the Past I can shout my head of My ears can stand the strain Your music bores me half to death Dead singers are a pain So when you tell me grow up You want me old like you ? Grow some bloody feathers What kind of fool are you Remember well the good old days When you were fit and able Now it’s coco in a mug Sitting at the table You cannot run to save your life Your bones all creak and groan Now to coin a well know phrase Just leave us kids alone |

You disrespectfully little brat how dare you speak to me. The one who gave you all you've got who makes your life so free. It's time my son, you took a walk with all the facts of life. So pack your bags and leave home now and get out of my life! |

Ivor has made some very good points here and it must be every parents worst nightmare to have kids that for one reason or another don’t conform to “???” Now as much as I would like to be back in that situation again teenager…I wish… with my whole life in front of me I have been there done that. Now like Ivor I am in a situation with two girls one 17 trying to sort out which University to go to in Sept(rather will one accept her and the other just finishing her Degree and trying to sort further education to “Masters” Both think they know more than the parents (probably do… ) You would think…… He who pays the piper calls the tune….

Totally Awesome!!! This brought a smile to my face and an ache to my heart. (It's funny, we think we're the smart one's till we're faced with kid's of our own. Dear sweet irony!) |

WOW! Very good. Even the way you ended it, such a "PA" would be wise to reconsider. Funny how those memories of ours, wishes that we had different ones and those, that still bang their delusions, aren't even sane enough, nor able to face their own mirrors of destruction to offer an apology, when often, we just want the years back. Great emotion's in this poem. Wonderful! ~Best Regards,Raven Smith |
