My Mean Parents
My mom and dad are very mean.
I’d like to trade them in.
It seems no matter what I do
It’s classified as sin.
I only want to stay up late,
And let my homework go.
Well, anyway, it could be done,
After I watch this show!
And surely meat and vegetables,
Can’t be as good as pie,
And soda chips and pretzels,
And candy, My oh My!
These things provide the energy,
I need to run and play.
It gets exasperating,
When I cannot get my way!
But wait, here in the Bible,
I see God’s holy plan.
Children obey your parents,
If you’d grow to be a man.
Believe God gives them wisdom,
To raise you for His glory,
Then with them in eternity,
You’ll tell a different story.
With praises to the Lord of Lords,
Whose blood has made you clean,
You’ll see my friend that after all,
Your parents weren’t so mean.
