<P>Don't Mess With Mom</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> My son came home from school one day,</P>
<P>> with a smirk upon his face.</P>
<P>> He decided he was smart enough,</P>
<P>> to put me in my place.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> "Guess what I learned in Civics Two,</P>
<P>> that's taught by Mr. Wright?</P>
<P>> It's all about the laws today,</P>
<P>> The "Children's Bill of Rights."</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> It says I need not clean my room,</P>
<P>> don't have to cut my hair.</P>
<P>> No one can tell me what to think,</P>
<P>> or speak, or what to wear.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> I have freedom from religion,</P>
<P>> and regardless what you say,</P>
<P>> I don't have to bow my head,</P>
<P>> and I sure don't have to pray.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> I can wear earrings if I want,</P>
<P>> And pierce my tongue and nose.</P>
<P>> I can read and watch just what I like,</P>
<P>> and get tattoos from head to toes.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> And if you ever spank me,</P>
<P>> I'll charge you with a crime.</P>
<P>> I'll back up all my charges,</P>
<P>> with the marks on my behind.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> Don't you ever touch me,</P>
<P>> My body's only for my use,</P>
<P>> not for your hugs and kisses,</P>
<P>> that's just more child abuse.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> Don't preach about your morals,</P>
<P>> like your Mama did to you.</P>
<P>> That's nothing more than mind control,</P>
<P>> And it's illegal too!</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> Mom, I have these children's rights,</P>
<P>> so you can't influence me,</P>
<P>> or I'll call Children's Services Division,</P>
<P>> better known as C. S. D.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> Of course my first instinct was</P>
<P>> To toss him out the door.</P>
<P>> But the chance to teach him a lesson</P>
<P>> made me think a little more.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> I mulled it over carefully,</P>
<P>> I couldn't let this go.</P>
<P>> A smile crept upon my face,</P>
<P>> he's messing with a pro.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> The next day I took him shopping</P>
<P>> at the local Goodwill Store.</P>
<P>> I told him,"Pick out all you want,</P>
<P>> there's shirts and pants galore.</P>
<P>> I've called and checked with C. S. D.</P>
<P>> who said they didn't care</P>
<P>> if I bought you K-Mart shoes</P>
<P>> instead of those Nike Airs.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> And I've canceled that appointment</P>
<P>> to take your driver's test.</P>
<P>> The C. S. D. is unconcerned</P>
<P>> so I'll decide what's best.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> I said "No time to stop and eat,</P>
<P>> or pick up stuff to munch.</P>
<P>> And tomorrow you can start to learn</P>
<P>> to make your own sack lunch."</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> Just save the raging appetite,</P>
<P>> and wait till dinner time.</P>
<P>> We're having liver and onions,</P>
<P>> a favorite dish of mine.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> He asked, "Can I please rent a movie,</P>
<P>> to watch on my VCR?"</P>
<P>> "Sorry, but I sold your TV,</P>
<P>> to put new tires on my car."</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> I also rented out your room,</P>
<P>> you'll take the couch instead.</P>
<P>> All the C. S. D. requires is</P>
<P>> a roof for over your head.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> Your clothing won't be trendy now,</P>
<P>> and I'll choose what we eat.</P>
<P>> That allowance that you used to get,</P>
<P>> will buy me something neat.</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> I'm selling off your Jet Ski,</P>
<P>> dirt bike and roller blades.</P>
<P>> Check out the "Parents Bill of Rights,"</P>
<P>> It's in effect today!</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> Hey hot shot, are you crying,</P>
<P>> and why are you on your knees?</P>
<P>> Are you asking God to help you out,</P>
<P>> instead of C. S. D.?</P>
<P>></P>
<P>> Send to all people that have kids or have already</P>
<P>raised</P>
<P>kids</P>
<P>> ... I love this one!!!</P></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
