A child's prayer

A child's prayer

A Poem by Anthony Hall
"

Aout a disruptive child.

"
Dear Lord I try to be good
But adults keep interfering,
They send me to my room
Then they say I'm sneering.

Saying I'm making a noise
It's them that make me cry,
Telling me I'm a disruptive child
Well Lord that's a total lie.

I'm really good that's what I am
I brush my teeth and make my bed,
I'm even good with my school work
Do you know what my motherr said.

She said I was a little brat
I mean what a thing to say,
I only kicked her in the shins
And she sent me to my room straight away.

Parents they dont know anything
Except to shout and scream,
They tell you to do your homework
And spend most of their lives in a dream.

Dreaming about winning the lottery
And are they too fat or thin,
They take pills when they're not ill
Really Lord children just cant win.

Thank you Lord for listening to me
I really will be good for a while,
But if mother starts on me again
I really will have to cramp her style.
