The Un-natural Preference

by

Stephan Hovell

The lessons in social etiquette,you give to a child, Should by intention,curb that youngster,from growing up too wild. Considerations bourne of courtesies,are societies needs and asks, Enableing children to grasp such things,are parental integral tasks. Children are contrary by nature,not but one is exempt, They need truth,love and guidance,within your best attempt. Subtle nepitism is not good,be aware that they can spoil, Lest you end up,raising a lout,with no integrity to toil. Children are people at the end of the day,not trinkets or items of treasure, As they grow up they need to be shown,manners will be their measure. Show me the child that was born,knowing right from wrong, An adults mistake to wait and find out! ,something well known all along. Cantankerous carry on from children,behaviour beyond the pale, May sadly oneday find a young adult,somewhere locked in a jail. Who will cry now,when milks been spilt,let`s all weigh the cost, The good advice that adults jilt,is how a cause is lost. Nowadays what is called tough love,is merely being cruel to be kind, Far better off in the long run,time and agaian you`ll find.
