THE SARCASM STANDOFF

THE SARCASM STANDOFF

A Poem by andrew mitchell

"So! What you having, kid?" asked the waiter.
" Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
  Humpty Dumpty had a big fall."

"Splattered against the wall."
" No! I don't like eggs" answered the kid.

"How bout.....
Jack and Jill went up the hill.
To fetch a pale of water."

"No I'm not thirsty!" says the kid.

"How bout...
Little Miss Muffet sat on her ....
Eating her curds and whey?"

" Little Miss Crumpet!"
" No! I don't like turds!" answered the kid.

"A wise guy! Hey!"
"How bout a clip around the ear and a taste of my belt strap punk!

"Yes! Please!"
"Can I!" answered the kid .

Hahaha! Kids, eh? I feel like this any time I try to talk to mine. Whether it's asking them to do something or explaining why something is. I've considered talking just as backwards as they do, but I'm worried I may confuse myself.

You've done a great job, Andrew. Thank you for the laugh.

Hi Andrew. Wow! Now you have taken charge of the kid's arena as well!!! What can I say? This is just a brilliantly comical write that in its own way is sad because it so exactly reflects what we have taught our children . . . to speak their minds without fear of consequences. You have created a perfect scenario and described those events with the perfection of a doting father!!!!! alf

OMG when the kids argue it drives me crazy lol you captured this really well and very creatively with the use of nursery rhymes!
Im sure sometimes my kids plan together to deliberately choose to say the opposite just to annoy us parents!!
