Teenage Woes

Mum and dad are being really mean Ever since, I turned sixteen Come home early when you go out And behave don’t lark about Clean your room, it is such a mess They say looking at it causes stress They moan when my friends dropped by Emptied the fridge and drank it dry Why should I have to wash a plate? I am not the only one who ate You will get nowhere if you do not study I’d rather play X box with my buddy Pick your clothes up, off the floor You can’t see them if you close the door Clean the bath that I have been using Rather lie on the sofa and snoozing Wash the car when it is dirty Dad is getting very shirty Cut the grass when it gets long I can’t I’m working on this song They are pushing me to the limit Bleeding liberty isn’t it I tell them I will run away It’s getting like a ground hog day Copyright © Alex McEwan

I look back on my younger days...and long for such structure. Not every child is lucky enough to have rules.

Alex, I laughed so hard when I read this. I am 26 now, but when I was 18-20ish, my buddies would come over and eat everything in the fridge. My parents especially hated how my friends would open a soda, drink half of it, leave it somewhere around the house, and open a new can lol. My parents and I would feud sometimes, but I am glad that they imposed rules on me. I have friends who did whatever they wanted, and they grew up to be slobs. I loved it though. It was hilarious (but true).

Ah yes, the good old bad days when Mums did the cooking, cleaning, washing, etc.. all taken for granted.

Your poem is so true Alex....a fact of life is teenagers just don't like any form of discipline...or rules........it always seems funny when you look back...... I wonder if you went through "it" with your own teenagers ...hahaha....good poem..
